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.

Abstract

To date, the problem of reduced fertility is quite relevant. At the same time, it should be noted that the effectiveness of infertility treatment, even with the use of the latest techniques, tools and drugs does not exceed 35-40%. This can be explained by insufficient study of a number of causes that lead to impaired fertility.One of these little-known and poorly studied factors is pelvic venous plethora, in particular varicose veins of the ovaries. While anatomically similar disease in men - varicocele - is given great importance, in women, even the very existence of this pathology is controversial among some authors.All studies were conducted in compliance with the basic bioethical norms and requirements of the Declaration of Helsinki. 117 women of reproductive age (21 - 42 years) with infertility of functional genesis were examined.According to the results of the analysis, the clinical and anamnestic features of women with infertility and ovaric varicocele are increased proportion of patients with intellectual differentiation and psycho-emotional and physical stress, high frequency of infectious diseases with acyclic uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea and premenstrual. Changes in the anatomical and functional state of the pelvic organs and venous system in women with infertility and ovarian varicocele have been established. It was found that the hormonal profile of women with infertility and ovarian varicocele is characterized by a decrease in estradiol and progesterone. A pathogenetically sound algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of women with infertility and ovarian varicocele has been developed, which is based on clinical data and the results of instrumental methods of examination.
