Uterine Peristaltic Activity and the Development of Endometriosis
Abstract
Peristaltic activity of the nonpregnant uterus serves fundamental functions in the early process of reproduction, such as directed transport of spermatozoa into the tube ipsilateral to the dominant follicle, high fundal implantation of the embryo, and, possibly, retrograde menstruation. Hyperperistalsis of the uterus is significantly associated with the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis. In women with hyperperistalsis, fragments of basal endometrium are detached during menstruation and transported into the peritoneal cavity. Fragments of basal endometrium have, because of their equipment with estrogen and progesterone receptors and because of their ability to produce estrogen, an increased potential of implantation and proliferation, resulting in pelvic endometriosis. In addition, hyperperistalsis induces the proliferation of basal endometrium into myometrial dehiscencies. This results in endometriosis-associated adenomyosis with a prevalence of approximately 90%. Adenomyosis results in impaired directed sperm transport and thus constitutes an important cause of sterility in women with endometriosis. Our own date and that from the literature strongly suggest that the principal mechanism of endometriosis/adenomyosis is the paracrine interference of endometrial estrogen with the cyclical endocrine control of archimyometrial peristalsis exerted by the ovary, thus resulting in hyperperistalsis.

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.
