This case-control study investigated risk factors for adenomyosis in a tertiary care hospital setting in Assam, India, enrolling 60 participants (30 adenomyosis cases and 30 controls) and comparing exposures including age, parity, history of abortion, previous surgical history, and smoking. The study found no statistical association between these commonly considered risk factors and adenomyosis. The main limitation, as reflected by the small sample size, is that the study may be underpowered to detect differences. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis—specifically assessing whether several proposed risk factors (age, parity, abortion history, prior surgery, and smoking) are associated with adenomyosis in a case-control design.

Abstract

Adenomyosis is categorized under Non inflammatory disorder of the Female Genital tract in ICD10 classification. It is defined as the benign invasion of endometrium into the myometrium, producing a diffusely enlarged uterus which microscopically exhibits ectopic non-neoplastic, endometrial glands and stroma surrounded by the hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrium. As most of the women with adenomyosis will end up undergoing hysterectomy which have long term complication in quality of life, therefore a better understanding regarding the etiopathogensis including the associated risk factors will help us in prevention and control of Adenomyosis. So this case control study was carried out to find out the risk factors of Adenomyosis. Methodology: A case control study with an sample size of 60,30 cases and 30 control. Results: There was no statistical association between age, parity, History of abortion, previous surgical history and smoking with adenomyosis. Conclusion: Our study showed no association of the commonly known risk factors of Adenomyosis.
