Dr. Naomi Whittaker shares critical distinctions between diffuse and focal adenomyosis and their impact on fertility. She highlights how adenomyosis is often over-diagnosed on ultrasound while explaining that diffuse adenomyosis rarely affects fertility, though focal adenomyomas require surgical intervention by fertility-friendly specialists.
• Diffuse adenomyosis is more common in women who have had children and typically doesn't impact fertility
• Adenomyosis is frequently over-diagnosed on ultrasound as technology improves
• Finding adenomyosis on imaging doesn't necessarily mean it's clinically significant
• Focal adenomyosis (adenomyomas) can cause infertility but are surgically treatable
• Surgeon choice is critical for fertility preservation
• Concerning cases exist where fallopian tubes were removed without patient consent
• Important to choose fertility-friendly surgeons who handle tissue delicately
