This single-center retrospective observational study (January 2006–June 2021) examined women attending a Swiss tertiary hospital to estimate the prevalence of congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) among those with endometriosis and to characterize women with both conditions. The paper reports findings on how common CUAs are in an endometriosis cohort and describes specific characteristics associated with the coexistence of CUAs and endometriosis. A key limitation is that the evidence is derived from a retrospective design and a single clinical center, which may limit generalizability beyond the study population. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates the association between endometriosis and congenital uterine malformations.

Abstract

Study objective The association between endometriosis and congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) has been discussed for decades, but existing evidence about this association is scarce. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of CUAs in women with endometriosis and to identify specific characteristics in women with both CUAs and endometriosis in a large cohort of patients. Design This is a retrospective single-center observational study conducted between January 2006 and June 2021.
