Is adenomyosis the neglected phenotype of an endomyometrial dysfunction syndrome?
Gynecological surgery ·doi:10.1007/s10397-011-0723-3

Since the dissociation between adenomyoma and endometriosis in the 1920s and the laparoscopic progress in the diagnosis and surgery of endometriosis, the literature has been greatly focused on the disease endometriosis. The study of adenomy…

Characterization of the uterine junctional zone prior to IVF/ICSI: an observational study
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-009-1285-8

PURPOSE: The uterine junctional zone as documented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown to be of significance with respect to the early process of human reproduction. In this study, MRI findings were related to the outcome of an IV…

Utero‐Tubal Sperm Transport and Its Impairment in Endometriosis and Adenomyosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1389.036

The uterus is composed of different smooth muscle layers that serve various functions. First, menstrual debris is expulsed at the time of the menses. Second, sperm is transported in the preovulatory phase to maximize fertility, and third, t…

Uterotubal transport disorder in adenomyosis and endometriosis—a cause for infertility
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology ·doi:10.1111/j.1471-0528.2006.00970.x

OBJECTIVE: Uterine hyperperistalsis and dysperistalsis are common phenomena in endometriosis and may be responsible for reduced fertility in cases of minimal or mild extent of disease. Since a high prevalence of adenomyosis uteri has been w…

Adenomyosis in endometriosis—prevalence and impact on fertility. Evidence from magnetic resonance imaging
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dei021

BACKGROUND: The hypothesis is tested that there is a strong association between endometriosis and adenomyosis and that adenomyosis plays a role in causing infertility in women with endometriosis. METHODS. Magnetic resonance imaging of the u…

Endometriose und Adenomyose
Zentralblatt fur Gynakologie ·doi:10.1055/s-2005-836885

Peristaltic activity of the non-pregnant uterus serves fundamental functions in the early process of reproduction. Hyperperistalsis of the uterus is significantly associated with the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis. In women wi…

Uterine Peristaltic Activity and the Development of Endometriosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1335.036

Peristaltic activity of the nonpregnant uterus serves fundamental functions in the early process of reproduction, such as directed transport of spermatozoa into the tube ipsilateral to the dominant follicle, high fundal implantation of the …

Structural abnormalities of the uterine wall in women with endometriosis and infertility visualized by vaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/15.1.76

In women with endometriosis, the peristaltic activity of the uterus is significantly enhanced and may even become dysperistaltic at midcycle. Since uterine peristalsis is confined to the endometrium and the subendometrial myometrium with it…

The uterine peristaltic pump. Normal and impeded sperm transport within the female genital tract.
Advances in experimental medicine and biology

Rapid as well as sustained sperm transport from the cervical canal to the isthmical part of the fallopian tube is provided by cervico-fundal uterine peristaltic contractions that can be visualized by vaginal sonography. The peristaltic cont…
