Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) of gynaecological origin encompasses a heterogeneous group of disorders, among which pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) and adenomyosis are recognised contributors.Concomitant PeVD and adenomyosis may potentiate sympto…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Increasing evidence suggests th…

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…

BACKGROUND Tubal infertility caused by proximal occlusion of fallopian tubes is a common cause of female infertility. Lipiodol (ethiodized oil) is an oil-based iodinated contrast medium, previously used in hysterosalpingography, and is now …

The postmenopausal state covers 40% of modern women’s lives and 50–70% of postmenopausal women report GSM symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching, frequent inflammations, lack of elasticity, or dyspareunia. Consequently, a safe and effect…

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that arise from the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus and are the most common tumors in women. Due to their high prevalence, costs for the health care system and the substantial impact on women's quality …

OBJECTIVES: To present preliminary results of minimally invasive endovascular embolization as a treatment of symptomatic adenomyosis or adenomyosis with fibroids and to assess the long-term clinical outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between 20…

Tubal diseases are responsible for 25% to 35% of female infertility. Laparoscopic chromopertubation is the gold standard for assessing tubal patency when female infertility is suspected. Intravasation is a complication of intrauterine proce…

72% respectively, adenomyosis were 79%, 84%, 58%, 93% and 83% respectively, combined were 19%, 93%, 47%, 81% and 57% respectively. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that TVS is effective non-invasive method for the presurgical diagnosis …

Elastography is an ultrasound-based imaging technique visualising the stiffness of the examined region. This technique enables to match the elasticity of organs with a range of colours and depicts the strain ratios on a colour map. Adenomyo…

Uterine leiomyomas or uterine fibroids are the most common gynaecological tumours and occur in about 20-50% of women around the world. Ultrasonography (USG) is the first-line imaging examination in suspected fibroids and shows high sensitiv…

INTRODUCTION: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects about 10-40% of women presenting to a physician, and is characterised by pain within the minor pelvis persisting for over 6 months. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The Medline database was searched usin…

It is rare for neurofibromatosis to occur in the female genital tract. We report a case of a plexiform neurofibroma in the left fallopian tube in a 50-year-old postmenopausal woman. The initial diagnosis was a pedunculated leiomyoma or a fa…

PURPOSE: To assess the role of elastography in preoperative ultrasound assessment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) location. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 33 patients qualified for surgical excision of AWE were included in the study. Preopera…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on subendometrial blood flow in infertile women with adenomyosis. Adenomyosis is a benign uterine pathology of the uterus in which the endometrium cells grow int…

Endometrial polyps and submucosal fibroids are common causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and less commonly infertility. The prevalence of such intrauterine lesions increases with age during the reproductive years, and usually decreas…

INTRODUCTION: Uterine anomalies may lead to infertility recurrent miscarriage, preterm labour intrauterine growth restriction and post-partum haemorrhage. Infertility and recurrent miscarriage are relatively common problems in the female po…

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…
