Forty-one amenorrheic patients were grouped on the basis of presence or absence of withdrawal uterine bleeding following the intramuscular administration of progesterone. Ovarian volume, ovarian morphology with particular reference to prese…

Fourteen uteri, removed for IUD-associated menorrhagia, were studied. Twelve of these IUD-bearing uteri showed pure diffuse myometrial hypertrophy; the other two uteri were enlarged as a result of multiple leiomyomas in one case and extensi…

27 patients with rectal endometriosis were operated upon in Turku University Central Hospital in 1967-1976. The main symptom was defecation pain especially during menstruation. Eighteen patients had had previous surgery for endometriosis of…

Clinical studies on the effect of locally administered prostaglandin E2 and F2alpha on the sensitivity and reactivity of the non-pregnant human uterus were performed in 16 volunteers. With the use of the flaccid microballoon technique, uter…

Six cases of pelvic endometriosis were treated with Danazol 400 mg daily for six months. In four of these cases, intestinal endometriosis of varying severity was also present. The initial results were very satisfactory except in one case wi…
