This study evaluated the diagnostic utility of operative hysteroscopy in 120 female patients presenting with pelvic pain syndrome associated with adenomyosis. The researchers correlated hysteroscopic findings with clinical severity, revealing that nodular adenomyosis was significantly more prevalent among patients reporting severe pain compared to those with mild or moderate symptoms. While diffuse forms were common overall, the procedure demonstrated high value for identifying specific morphological variants and differentiating adenomyosis from other proliferative uterine diseases. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically focusing on the role of hysteroscopy in diagnosing its various forms based on pain intensity.

Abstract

Endometriosis, including adenomyosis, remains one of the important clinical problems of modern gynecology. To date, the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy in the detection of foci of adenomyosis varies widely depending on the shape and the extent of spreading of the pathological process. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic capabilities of operative hysteroscopy with adenomyosis, accompanied by the pelvic pain syndrome. 120 female patients with pelvic pain adenomyosis were included into the present study. The verification of the diagnosis of adenomyosis was made on the basis of clinical and anamnestic, objective gynecological, ultrasound, tomography data. The results of the study demonstrated the presence of nodular form of adenomyosis in 36 (30.1 %) patients, diffuse forms of adenomyosis – «the phenomenon of wave formation» was detected in 78 (65 %) women with a pelvic pain of moderate and weak intensity. The combination of diffuse-nodular was diagnosed in 6 (5.9 %) patients. The results of the research testify to high diagnostic value for the detection of adenomyosis, and for differential diagnosis of proliferative diseases of the uterus and endometrium. Significantly more nodular form of adenomyosis (ppelvic pain of severe intensity.

Vоl. 11. iss. 2 223223223 T he pelvic pain in women with adenomyosis has a serious impact on the quality of patients life and disruption. Central mechanisms of vital body regulation of the systems [1]. The clinical symptoms are nonspecific and include dysmenorrhea starting at an ear- ly age around the time of menarche, chronic pelvic pain and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The dysmenorrhea tends to progressively increase and is resistant to therapy with analgesics or cyclic oral contraceptives. When viewed with ultrasound, the cyst increases in size at the time of menstruation and hormonal suppression with continuous oral contraceptive pills results in a partial regression [3]. Diagnostic problem can be significantly solved with the help of endoscopic visualization, allowing to carry out differential diagnosis between endometrial hyperplasia, adenomyosis and submucous myoma [2]. Hysteroscopy is an operative method of visual examination of the uterine cavity using an optical instrument, giving the opportunity to detect a intrauterine pathology, to determine the localization and size of endometriotic lesions. Modern hysteroscopy has become more than just a royal study; she opened a new section of surgical gynecology – intrauterine surgery. It is possible to replace laparotomy operations gave an invaluable contribution to the development of surgical hysteroscopy [4]. To date, the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy in the detection of foci of adenomyosis varies widely depending on the shape and extent of spreading of the pathological process [5]. The aim of the study was to determinate of the diagnostic possibilities of the operative hysteroscopy with adenomyosis, accompanied by the pelvic pain syndrome.

Material

and Methods. 120 female patients with pelvic pain adenomyosis were included into the present study. The verification of the diagnosis of adenomyosis was made on the basis of clinical and anamnestic,

Objective

gynecological, ultrasound, tomography data. The endoscopic examination was performed by hysteroscopy in the traditional way, using the equipment produced by a well-known German company *Karl Stors*, with a set of surgical instruments in the first phase of the menstrual cycle, under intravenous anesthesia. The dominant symptom of the disease in the focus group was the pelvic pain syndrome. Depending on the severity of pain (using a VAS), the patients of the main group were divided into three subgroups: Subgroup 1 (n=42) – with a pelvic pain of weak intensity; Subgroup 2 (n=40), – with a pelvic pain of moderate intensity; Subgroup 3 (n=38) – with a pelvic pain of severe intensity. Results. The results of the study demonstrated the presence of nodular form of adenomyosis in 36 (30.1 %) patients, diffuse forms of adenomyosis – «the phenomenon of wave formation» was detected in 78 (65 %) women with a pelvic pain of moderate and mild intensity. The combination of diffuse-nodular form was diagnosed in 6 (5.9 %) patients. Morphologically, the endometrium corresponded to the phase of proliferation in 48 (40 %) patients, the morphological characteristics of a simple hyperplasia without atypia were diagnosed in 46 (38.3 %) patients, and 26 (21.7 %) of women showed signs of the glandular-fibrous polyp. The informative value of hysteroscopy in case of disputes regarding the identification of traits differed significantly when performing studies as planned on the last day of her menstrual period or for 3 days after surgical curettage of the uterus. Under these conditions the method was most sensitive in identifying the focal forms of the disease. Adenomyosis, the heterotopic presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, has traditionally been diagnosed by the pathologist in hysterectomy specimens. Hysteroscopy offers the advantage of direct visualization of the uterine cavity, and since nowadays it is performed in the office, it can be offered as a first-line diagnostic tool for evaluation of uterine abnormalities in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding and/or infertility. Although diagnostic hysteroscopy does not provide pathognomonic signs for adenomyosis, some evidence suggests that irregular endometrium with endometrial defects, altered vascularization, and cystic haemorrhagic lesion are possibly associated with the entity. In addition to the direct visualization of the uterine cavity, the hysteroscopic approach offers the possibility of obtaining endometrial/myometrial biopsies under visual control. Conclusions. Our study indicate its high diagnostic value for the detection of adenomyosis, and for differential diagnosis of proliferative diseases of the uterus and the endometrium. In patients with pelvic pain of severe intensity significantly more nodular form of adenomyosis (p<0.05) were detected.

Results

of the study demonstrated the presence of nodular form of adenomyosis in 36 (30.1 %) patients, diffuse forms of adenomyosis – «the phenomenon of wave formation» was detected in 78 (65 %) women with a pelvic pain of mod- erate and weak intensity. The combination of diffuse-nodular was diagnosed in 6 (5.9 %) patients. The results of the research testify to high diagnostic value for the detection of adenomyosis, and for differential diagnosis of proliferative diseases of the uterus and endometrium. Significantly more nodular form of adenomyosis (p<0.05) were detected in patients with pelvic pain of severe intensity. Key words: adenomyosis, pelvic pain, hysteroscopy Эндометриоз, в частности аденомиоз, остается одной из важных проблем современной клинической гине- кологии. На сегодняшний день диагностическая ценность гистероскопии в выявлении очагов аденомиоза ва- рьирует в широких пределах в зависимости от формы и степени распространения патологического процесса. Целью исследования явилось определение диагностических возможностей оперативной гистероскопии при аденомиозе, сопровождающемся синдромом тазовой боли. В настоящее исследование были включены 120 пациенток с тазовым болевым синдромом аденомиоза. Верификация диагноза аденомиоза производилась на основании клинико-анамнестических, обьективных гинекологических, эхографических, томографических данных. Результаты исследования продемонстрировали наличие узловой формы аденомиоза у 36 (30,1 %) в группе пациенток с тазовыми болями выраженной интенсивности, диффузной формы аденомиоза – «феномен волнообразования» – у 78 (65 %) женщин с тазовыми болями умеренной и слабой интенсивности. Сочетание диффузно-узловой формы диагностировано у 6 (5,9 %) пациенток. Результаты исследования свидельствуют о высокой диагностической ценности как для выявления аденомиоза, так и для дифференциальной диагности- ки пролиферативных заболеваний матки и эндометрия. У пациенток с тазовыми болями выраженной интен- сивности достоверно больше выявлялась узловая форма аденомиоза (p<0,05).

Currently, assessment of TEC risk in patients with AF is done employing the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc clinical scale, which leaves the doctor with no precise recommendation regarding tactics for antithrombotic therapy in case the number of points scored on the scale belongs to the 0-to-1 range [2]. The issue of identifying certain additional TEC risk factors in this group of patients yet remains unresolved.
