Uterotubare Transportstörung bei Adenomyose und Endometriose – Ursache der Infertilität
This paper proposes that endometriosis and adenomyosis are different manifestations of a single underlying condition: the displacement of basal endometrium, which causes uterotubal transport disorders and infertility.

This study investigates whether uterotubal transport dysfunction contributes to infertility in women with endometriosis by utilizing MRI and hysterosalpingoscintigraphy. The authors found that adenomyosis, characterized by a widened junctional zone on MRI, is strongly associated with impaired sperm transport, particularly in diffuse cases where 93% of patients showed no positive transport capacity. In contrast, women with endometriosis but without radiological evidence of adenomyosis largely retained intact transport function, although they exhibited higher rates of non-physiological transport patterns compared to controls. The paper concludes that adenomyosis destroys the subendometrial layer necessary for regulated sperm transport, making spontaneous conception or intrauterine insemination highly unlikely without IVF. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis, specifically examining their combined impact on uterotubal transport as a cause of infertility.
