Researchers developed an objective method to analyze uterine peristalsis from transvaginal ultrasound clips, finding no significant differences in motility between healthy and post-Cesarean section uteri in a preliminary study.

The paper developed an objective, image-analysis method to quantify uterine peristalsis by detecting endometrium–myometrium interface (EMI) motility from transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) sagittal video clips in nonpregnant women where the uterine cavity may be hard to visualize, including post–cesarean section (CS) uteri. Using active contours, the authors straightened and registered EMI contours over time and calculated motility frequency and amplitude from TVUS clips from 12 participants (7 post-CS and 5 controls), focusing on days ~8–17. They found motility frequencies in controls ranging from 0.010 to 0.064 Hz and in post-CS participants from 0.014 to 0.073 Hz, with maximal amplitudes of 0.67–2.00 mm versus 0.48–2.58 mm, and reported no significant difference between healthy and post-CS uteri. This preliminary study involved a small sample and did not observe clear post-CS effects on EMI motility. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
