The aim of our research is to compare the risk factors of individuals who were operated on for benign gynecological reasons, patients with Adenomyosis detected in the hysterectomy material, and patients with other benign pathologies.\nMaterial and Methods\nTo make an analysis on the role of risk variables for adenomyosis, we retrospectively evaluated theidata of 352 women who had hysterectomy iniour hospital at the interval of January 2019 - November 2022. All cases were diagnosed according to postoperative histopathologic examination.\nResults\nSmoking, Mirena®, number of parities, age at first pregnancy, presence of dilation and curettage, dysmenorrhea, menstrual intensity, dyspareunia, intermenstrual pelvic pain, and delivery type were substantially correlated with adenomyosis (p<0.05). Accordingly, the existence of adenomyosis was proportionally higher in non-smokers, <5 years smokers. Accordingly, the existence of adenomyosis was observed to be proportionally greater in females with the age at first pregnancy (25-30) and age at menarche (>14). Accordingly, the existence of adenomyosis was observed to be proportionally higher in females with dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and cesarean section. Accordingly, the existence of adenomyosis was shown to be proportionally higher in females with Mirena®.\nConclusion\nBecause of its symptoms, adenomyosis has a detrimental effect on a sizeable portion of patients' quality of life. Further research in this area is required, as evidenced by the high prevalence of adenomyosis seen following hysterectomy procedures carried out as a result of these symptoms.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
