Simultaneous uterine arteries and ovarian veins embolization as a management for chronic pelvic pain due to adenomyosis and pelvic venous disorders.

Objective. To determine the prevalence of adenomyosis among patients with Pelvic Venous Disorders (PeVD) presenting with Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) and to assess the clinical response to ovarian vein embolization in cases of isolated PeVD ve…

Uterine fibroids, benign tumors originating from uterine smooth muscle cells, vary in prevalence depending on patient ethnicity, hormonal exposure, and genetics. Due to their high incidence, these neoplasms pose a significant burden on heal…

It is estimated that chronic pelvic pain (CPP) may affect up to 24% of women. Unfortunately, very often, despite extensive diagnostics, the cause of CPP remains unknown. The pathophysiology of CPP could be explained to a large extent by the…

Conclusions: 3D ultrasonography is useful only to increase the diagnostic accuracy of 2D in the diagnosis of other posterior localizations of deep endometriosis.

Extrapelvic endometriosis can occur in up to 12% of cases. The symptoms are generally related to menstruation. Vaginal localizations of endometriosis is very rare form of extrapelvic endometriosis, occurring in up to 1.00% of cases. The pat…
