[Degree of fibrosis of adenomyotic myometrium and its relationship with dysmenorrhea].
The study found that adenomyotic myometrium exhibits increased collagen fiber area and type I collagen expression, both of which positively correlate with the severity of dysmenorrhea.

This study investigated the degree of fibrosis in the myometrium of patients with adenomyosis and its correlation with dysmenorrhea severity. Researchers compared thirty women who underwent hysterectomy for adenomyosis against a control group of twenty-eight women undergoing hysterectomy for cervical lesions, measuring collagen fiber area ratios and type I collagen expression via modified Masson staining and immunohistochemistry. The results demonstrated that both fibrosis markers were significantly higher in the adenomyosis group and positively correlated with the intensity of pain reported by patients. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically examining how myometrial fibrosis contributes to the pathophysiology of dysmenorrhea in affected individuals.
