PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this article is to assess the importance of uterine contractility in the implantation of human embryos. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent findings show that the receptive phase of the endometrium seems to occur in close…

The receptive phase of the endometrium seems to occur in close association with the appearance of pinopodes and endometrial integrins that may be activated by the interleukin-1 system (IL-1). Embryo attachment is the result of adhesion prot…

The nonpregnant uterus shows uterine activity throughout the menstrual cycle. This uterine activity was detected both by single strep tissue and by using intrauterine pressure recordings in vitro and in vivo. Today, ultrasound has made it p…

OBJECTIVE: To establish the role of uterine contractions in retrograde menstruation with subsequent abdominal implantation of endometrial tissue. DESIGN: Controlled prospective study. SETTING: University hospital-based study. PATIENT(S):…

BACKGROUND: We investigated the possibility of correcting the endometrial alterations induced with clomiphene citrate (CC) by vaginal hormonal supplementation (HS) with estradiol (E2) and progesterone gel. METHODS: Oligo-ovulatory women we…

Recent renewed interest in uterine contractility stems from the possibility of directly visualizing uterine contractility on images generated by high-resolution ultrasound probes. During the menstrual cycle, three typical patterns of uterin…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the changes in uterine contractility induced by increasing doses of P administered to estrogenized women and to compare two methodologies for assessing uterine contraction frequency from ultrasound scans. DESIGN: Prosp…

Uterine contractility was evaluated in 30 women, 16 with endometriosis and 14 controls. Two catheters were introduced into the uterine cavity, one next to the fundus and the other in proximity of internal os. They were connected to a pressu…
