This study mapped oxidative DNA damage, measured by 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, in female pelvic organs, finding significantly higher levels in benign gynecological conditions than healthy tissues.

⚙ AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-08 ⓘ

The study mapped oxidative DNA damage in female reproductive organs by measuring 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine using immunohistochemical staining in 17 biopsy specimens, comparing healthy tissue (cervix, tubes, uterus, peritoneum, and secretory-phase endometrium) with benign gynecological conditions (hydrosalpinges, leiomyoma, adenomyosis, and tubal cysts). Benign gynecological conditions showed significantly higher levels of oxidative DNA damage than healthy organs (19.36% vs 4.61%; P < 0.0344). The authors report that hydrosalpinges, leiomyoma, and adenomyosis exhibited the highest amounts of DNA damage among the benign disorders examined. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and/or adenomyosis—specifically it includes adenomyosis biopsy samples and finds the highest oxidative DNA damage levels in adenomyosis among benign gynecologic disorders.
