About Patient's Treatment and Recovery
Mrs Bano's health journey had been greatly affected by heavy menstrual bleeding and persistent anemia, which caused continuous fatigue and discomfort in her daily life. After thorough evaluation, she was diagnosed with adenomyosis of the uterus, a condition in which endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, leading to excessive bleeding and pain.
Seeking a long-term and effective solution, Mrs Bano consulted Dr Karthik Chandra Vallam at Medicover Hospitals, Cancer Institute Visakhapatnam. After careful assessment and discussion, a robotic hysterectomy was recommended as the most appropriate treatment option.
This minimally invasive surgical approach offered precision, faster recovery, and complete relief from her symptoms. The procedure was successfully performed, showing a significant improvement in her overall health and quality of life.

The doctor and his entire team were extremely professional, caring, and supportive throughout my treatment and recovery.
Their guidance and compassion helped me regain confidence during a difficult phase of my life. I am deeply thankful to everyone at Medicover Hospitals for the excellent care I received."
What is Adenomyosis of the Uterus?
Adenomyosis is a gynecological condition in which the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscular wall (myometrium). This abnormal growth causes the uterus to become thickened, enlarged, and tender, leading to painful and heavy menstrual periods.
Common symptoms of adenomyosis include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
- Severe menstrual cramps or pelvic pain
- Chronic pelvic discomfort
- Anemia caused by excessive blood loss
- Enlarged or tender uterus
While medications and hormonal therapy may offer temporary symptom control, a hysterectomy is considered the definitive treatment, especially when symptoms are severe or lead to complications such as anemia.
What Treatment did we provide to Mrs Bano at Medicover?
Mrs Bano underwent a robotic hysterectomy at Medicover Hospitals, Cancer Institute Visakhapatnam, performed by Dr Karthik Chandra Vallam. This treatment was chosen as the most effective solution to permanently address adenomyosis and eliminate the source of heavy bleeding and anemia.
The treatment approach included:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Confirmation of adenomyosis and detailed counseling regarding treatment options.
- Robotic Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus using advanced robotic-assisted technology, allowing for enhanced precision, minimal blood loss, and smaller incisions.
- Post-operative Care: Close monitoring and supportive care ensured smooth recovery and early discharge without complications.
This minimally invasive surgical approach provided Mrs Bano with lasting relief from her symptoms and allowed her to return to a healthier, more comfortable life.
