INTRODUCTION: Advanced endometriosis (stage III-IV, per the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rARSM) classification of endometriosis) is associated with a range of pregnancy-related complications. Despite growing evidence,…

OBJECTIVE: To study the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) after the first in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment in women with or without deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and/or endometrioma d…

INTRODUCTION: There is a gap in knowledge regarding development of endometriosis and adenomyosis lesions visible at transvaginal ultrasound. The objectives were to evaluate if women with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis or adenomyosis b…

To assess changes of endometriomas during pregnancy and after delivery using ultrasound. Women with at least one adnexal mass suggestive of endometrioma were examined with ultrasound during pregnancy every month, thereafter at 3-6 and 7-18 …

To describe ultrasound characteristics of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). Patients with AWE were examined at the Ultrasound Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2014-2024 using transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound. Siz…

INTRODUCTION: Studies that use standardized ultrasonographic criteria to diagnose adenomyosis in subfertile women are needed. These would improve the understanding of the disease burden and enable further studies on its impact on fertility …

To determine the prevalence of direct and indirect features of adenomyosis, as defined by the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group, in infertile women. Infertile women aged 25–39 years, scheduled for their first …

Investigate if women with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis and no abnormal ultrasound findings at initial examination develop endometriosis lesions or adenomyosis visible at ultrasound examination at long-term follow-up. One hundred wom…

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are two non-invasive methods for diagnosing ovarian and deep endometriosis (DE). The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between TVS and MRI in diagnosing endometr…

Evaluate if changes in the intensity of dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain at long-term follow-up in women without endometriosis findings at initial examination are associated with ultrasound findings of endometrioma, deep endometriosis (…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) features of adenomyosis need to be better defined and, if deemed necessary, to reach consensus on the updated definitions. METHODS: A modified Delphi pr…

INTRODUCTION: Prevalence of endometriosis is commonly reported based on surgery findings and varies widely depending on study population and indication for surgery. Symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, and dysch…

The primary aim was to investigate what happened to the patients who had symptoms suggesting endometriosis but who initially had no signs of endometriosis on advanced transvaginal ultrasound examination. The secondary aim of this study was …

To describe changes in ultrasound morphology and size of endometriomas during pregnancy and to estimate how often endometriomas change during pregnancy and when these changes occur. Patients were examined between years 2012-2020. Patients t…

Doppler ultrasound imaging can be used to identify and assess blood vessels by producing a colour-coded map of Doppler shifts superimposed on a B-mode ultrasound image. The effect, first described by the Austrian scientist Christian Doppler…

To assess the inter-observer agreement on the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) features among experts and provide improved definitions of the features to facilitate diagnosing adenomyosis. A modified Delphi procedure among…

To describe clinical symptoms in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the bowel detected at transvaginal ultrasound examination. Women of fertile age diagnosed with bowel DIE at transvaginal ultrasound examination by an exper…

To investigate the association between the symptoms and number, size and location of bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) as assessed at transvaginal ultrasound examination. Women of fertile age with diagnosed bowel DIE at transvagin…

To determine the prevalence of endometriosis detected at ultrasound examination in different localisations in women with dyspareunia and suspected endometriosis. Women with dyspareunia and suspected endometriosis underwent transvaginal ultr…

The aim is to assess the effect of hormonal treatment on patients' symptoms in women with dyspareunia with regard to ultrasound findings. Women with dyspareunia and suspected endometriosis underwent ultrasound examination in 2014–2019 using…

To determine the prevalence of endometriosis detected at transvaginal ultrasound examination in different anatomical locations in women with dysmenorrhea and without previously known endometriosis. Women of fertile age with dysmenorrhea und…
