Adenomyosis, an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma deep within the myometrium [1]. The main clinical features of adenomyosis are dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia, which are significantly associated with peritoneal endometriosis in infertile patients at reproductive age [2,3]. The only difference between adenomyosis and endometriosis ...

Sonography of Adenomyosis denomyosis was first described by Rokitansky in 1860 as " cystosarcoma adenoides uterinum " and was later defined by Von Recklinghausen in 1896. It is a common condition that predominantly affects women in the late reproductive years. Adenomyosis has been noted to occur in about 30% of the general female population and in up to 70% of hysterectomy specimens depending o...

adenomyosis is an idiopathic and benign disease in which ectopic endometrial glands embedded deeply in myometrial smooth muscle with the compensatory hypertrophy of the myometrium surrounding the ectopic endometrium (1, 2). there is a correlation between depth of the infiltration and initial too high stage of adenomyosis. lesions may characterize as a diffuse or focal lesions. the highest preva...

Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate adenomyosis in patients undergoing surgery for different type of endometriosis. It is an observational study including women with preoperative ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis. Demographic data and symptoms were recorded (age, body mass index, parity, history of previous surgery, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria, and abnormal uterin...

BACKGROUND Adenomyosis is a common benign disorder in pre-menopausal women that presents with uterine enlargement, pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and dysmenorrhea. However, its risk factors have not been clearly determined. The aim of this study was to determine whether prior uterine surgery is a risk factor for adenomyosis. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we reviewed the medic...

Background Adenomyosis is a complex disorder that accounts up to one third of gynecological morbidity. Diffuse form of adenomyosis is most difficult to diagnose and treat. All attempts to create a “gold standard” in preserving therapy have not been successful so far. MRgFUS could be a promising technology for organ-preserving treatment of this disease. Purpose of this study was to determine the...

Abstract Study question Does the freeze all strategy improve cumulative live birth rates in infertile women affected with adenomyosis? Summary answer The adenomyosis-affected is associated significantly higher rates. What known already Controlled ovarian stimulation enhances efficacy of assisted reproductive technology (ART) by permitting multiple-oocyte yields, but also may alter endometrial r...

Correspondence: Dr. Marius Moga e-mail: moga.og@ gmail.com Although other benign conditions have a high prevalence in the reproductive age in women, leiomyoma and adenomyosis are the major clinical challenges in gynecology. Often, under diagnosed adenomyosis commonly coexists with uterine fibroids. This retrospective study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and also to assess the ef...

OBJECTIVE A prominent stress reaction in the pelvis of women with endometriosis and the role of human heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in inflammation and the growth of endometriosis has been recently demonstrated. We report here expression of HSP70 in tissues derived from GnRH agonist (GnRHa)-untreated and -treated women with adenomyosis and uterine myoma. STUDY DESIGN This is a case-controlled...

Background. Shaoyao-Gancao Decoction (SGD), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine prescription, has been widely used to treat adenomyosis, dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, and inflammation in Asia. However, the mechanism underlying the effectiveness of SGD in the treatment of adenomyosis still remains elusive. The present study aimed to investigate the bioactivity of SGD and its underlying mol...
