Two separate phenotypes of adenomyosis have been recognized, determined by the anatomical position of the adenomyotic lesions within the myometrium. This suggests that adenomyosis impacting the inner myometrium and that affecting the outer …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-aged women, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation. The exact cause remains unknown, though genetic and epigenetic factors are increasingl…
INTRODUCTION: Alterations in microbiota composition have been implicated in a variety of human diseases. Patients with adenomyosis present immune dysregulation leading to a persistent chronic inflammatory response. In this context, the hypo…
Nowadays, combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are successfully employed for the treatment of endometriosis (END) and adenomyosis (AD) in a large proportion of patients. However, literature focusing on the clinical and sonographic response t…
BackgroundTubal patency testing constitutes an essential part of infertility work-up. Hysterosalpingo-foam-sonography (HyFoSy) is currently one of the best tests for assessing tubal patency. The objective of our study was to evaluate the po…
Deep endometriosis (DE) can be more aggressive than other types of endometriosis, and may even lead to irreversible severe complications such as complete unilateral loss of renal function. We aimed to describe the clinical and radiologic ch…
Abstract Background: Deep endometriosis (DE) is usually associated with severe pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and other pain symptoms and can be more aggressive than other types of endometriosis, even leading to irreversible severe complications…
Deep endometriosis (DE) occurs in 15-30% of patients with endometriosis and is associated with concomitant adenomyosis in around 25-49% of cases. There are no data about the effect of the presence of adenomyosis in terms of surgical outcome…
Abstract Background Deep endometriosis (DE) occurs in 15–30% of patients with endometriosis and is associated with concomitant adenomyosis in around 49% of cases. There are no data about the effect of the presence of adenomyosis in terms of…
BACKGROUND: The quality of life of women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is impaired and may improve with combined oral contraceptives (COCs). AIM: To compare the overall and sexual quality of life of patients diagnosed with DIE …
This study aimed to assess the impact of adenomyosis (AD) on different domains of sexual life. The study population included three groups: one composed of 68 women diagnosed with AD by transvaginal ultrasound, a second group comprised by 65…
Adenomyosis and endometriosis are similar gynecological diseases that decrease sexual quality of life and, in the case of endometriosis, satisfaction in couple relationships. This study aimed to assess sexual quality of life and couple sati…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the utility of carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) to detect malignancy in women with ovarian endometriosis, when ovarian cancer is suspected and ultrasonography results are inconclusive. …
Background: Quality of life in adenomyosis (AD) patients has been poorly investigated. Previous data suggest that AD has negative impact on the quality of life in these women. Materials and Methods: From September 2018 to December 2019, all…
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the effect of bowel preparation prior to transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) examination on the detection of bowel involvement and the description of rectosigmoid nodules of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and to eva…
Objective To assess ovarian reserve through antral follicle count (AFC) and ovarian volume (OV) determination after decapsulation (stripping technique) or CO 2 laser vaporization in the surgical treatment of patients with bilateral ovarian …
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate serial generation of microparticles (MPs) after laparoscopic stripping or CO2 laser vaporization in the surgical treatment of patients with ovarian endometrioma (OE). DESIGN: A prospective, randomized, blinded,…
Study objectiveTo study the effects of ulipristal acetate (UPA) on adenomyosis-associated clinical symptoms.DesignA retrospective, single-center observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).SettingA university tertiary refe…
Study objectiveTo compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) with and without bowel preparation (BP) to detect and describe intestinal nodules of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with laparoscopic findings.DesignA prospecti…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the utility of transvaginal ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (UGTI) to treat uterine artery pseudoaneurysms (UAPs) as an alternative to emergency arterial embolization.MethodsTwo females presenting with heavy vagina…
