Adenomyosis and reproduction

Abstract

Evidence has been provided that pelvic endometriosis is significantly associated with uterine adenomyosis and that the latter constitutes the major factor of infertility in such conditions. Furthermore, it has become evident that both adenomyosis and endometriosis constitute a pathophysiological and nosological entity. Mild peritoneal endometriosis of the fertile woman and premenopausal adenomyosis of the parous and non-parous woman, as well as adenomyosis in association with endometriosis of the infertile woman, constitute a pathophysiological continuum that is characterized by the dislocation of basal endometrium. Due to the postponement of childbearing late into the period of reproduction, premenopausal adenomyosis might increasingly become a factor for infertility in addition to adenomyosis associated with endometriosis of younger women. In any event, the presence or absence of uterine adenomyosis should be examined in a sterility work-up.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Uterine dysfunction in women with endometriosis and adenomyosis is a result of archimetral hyperestrogenism.

    “It was suggested that this uterine dysfunction in women with endometriosis and adenomyosis is a result of archimetral hyperestrogenism [3, 4, 29, 33].”
  • Auto-traumatization of the uterus constitutes the critical factor in the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis.

    “On the basis of the data presented above we had suggested that auto-traumatization of the uterus would constitute the critical factor in the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis [3, 4, 33].”
  • Adenomyotic foci are usually localized in the anterior and/or posterior with preference of the posterior but only rarely in the lateral walls of the uterine corpus.

    “Adenomyotic foci are usually localized in the anterior and/or posterior with preference of the posterior but only rarely in the lateral walls of the uterine corpus.”
  • Early lesions usually present close to the fundo-cornual raphe of the archimyometrium.

    “Early lesions usually present close to the “fundo-cornual raphe” of the archimyometrium [3, 23, 45]”
  • While in healthy women the endometrial-myometrial lining is smooth and regular, it is irregular and sometimes polypoid in affected women.

    “Moreover, while in healthy women the endometrial–myometrial lining is smooth and regular it is irregular and sometimes polypoid in affected women [3, 81].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
