PATHOGENETIC ASPECTS OF INFERTILITY IN WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE WITH OVARIAN VARICOCELE
This study examined 117 infertile women, finding that ovarian varicocele is associated with increased stress, acyclic bleeding, dysmenorrhea, decreased estradiol and progesterone, and specific anatomical/functional changes in pelvic organs.

This paper studied reproductive-age women with infertility of functional genesis, examining 117 participants (ages 21–42) for clinical/anamnestic and anatomical-functional changes related to ovarian varicocele and pelvic venous plethora, using instrumental diagnostic methods. The authors report that women with infertility and ovarian varicocele had more frequent psycho-emotional and physical stress, infectious diseases with acyclic uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and premenstrual symptoms, alongside identified alterations in pelvic organs and the venous system. They also found a hormonal profile characterized by decreased estradiol and progesterone and developed a diagnostic and treatment algorithm based on clinical and instrumental findings. A stated limitation is that the paper frames ovarian varicocele/pelvic venous plethora as poorly studied and clinically controversial in women, reflecting gaps in prior evidence. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
