Adenomyosis and Infertility

Uterine adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disease that affects women’s fertility and quality of life. Infertility, miscarriage, and obstetric complications are prominent problems, which are difficult and hot spots in its research and treatment. There is an increasing evidence that adenomyosis is associated with infertility and reproductive failure [1–4]. A recent cross-sectional study of infertile women found that the incidence of adenomyosis was 29.7% in women over 40 years of age and 22% under 40 years of age. Furthermore, among people with repeated miscarriages and previous assisted reproductive technology (ART) failures, this proportion increased to 38.2% [5].
