Adenomyosis, also known as endometriosis interna, is the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Its localised form is called adenomyoma and mimics a leiomyoma. Rarely, adenomyomas are located outside the uterus and some of them form uterus-like masses with a thick muscle wall and an endometrium-lined central cavity. They are generally located in the ovary or broad liga...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to test whether the COMT, CYP1A1 and CYP17 genes influence the risk of developing adenomyosis and endometriosis. METHODS We conducted two case-control studies, where the cases (n = 198) had either of the two diseases, and controls (n = 312) were disease-free women. For the COMT gene, we selected the G/A nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) tha...

BACKGROUND The presence of aromatase and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression was investigated in the endometrium of patients with idiopathic menorrhagia or adenomyosis. The effect of oral contraceptives administered in extended regimens on the endometrial expression of these enzymes was also investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS Aromatase expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in the end...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical outcomes of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) combined with implantation of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in adenomyosis patients with significantly enlarged uteruses. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty-one adenomyosis patients whose uterine volumes were greater in size than at 12 weeks' gestation were recruited for the study...

OBJECTIVE To review the literature on usage of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG IUS) in women with fibroids or adenomyosis in an attempt to develop a pragmatic approach when faced with enlarged uteri. DATA SOURCES Computerised searches of MEDLINE and EMBASE up to December 2000. Some of the information was obtained from references listed in the primary sources and references already...

Adenomyosis is a gynaecological condition which due to the ingrowth of endometrium directly into myometrium. It primarily occurs in age group 35 years parous women. associated with menorrhagia (70%), pelvic endometriosis (40%), and dysmenorrhoea. These are chief complaints. And this requires surgical intervention attain cure, whereas homoeopathic Materia Medica consists remedies help treating w...

introduction pelvic pain results from many causes such as primary dysmenorrhea, uterine anomalies, menstrual outflow obstruction, endometriosis, myoma and adenomyosis. this study reports on a rare case of non-communicating functional rudimentary horn. case presentations a 15-year-old nulligravida young woman with a history of severe intermittent pelvic pain presented a 4-5 centimeter mass. a su...

Background: A unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn is rare Mullerian anomaly few cases reported in the literature. The symptoms vary depending on functionality of endometrial cavity and presence an obstruction. Adenomyosis disease defined as areas glands stroma present within myometrium. Reports describing adenomyosis relation to anomalies are scarce. Case Report: We 20-year-old middle ea...
