Uterine contractions in endometriosis: Effects of operative and danazol treatment
Abstract
SummaryTo study uterine contractions in proved endometriosis and the effects of operative and danazol treatment, intrauterine pressures at the isthmus and fundus level were recorded 27 times in 17 women with endometriosis and 20 times in 10 healthy women. In endometriosis a pattern of hypercontractility in the form of increased resting pressure was observed both during the luteal phase of the cycle and during menstruation, whereas the frequency of fundal contractions during the luteal phase was decreased. This pattern of uterine contractions was not affected by operative or danazol (600 mg/day) treatment, although these treatments provided symptomatic relief. These data suggest there is uterine hypercontractility in endometriosis, which seems to be of minor importance in causing symptoms.

Uterine function of rapid and directed sperm transport into the dominant tube is dysfunctional in women with endometriosis and is characterized by hyper- and dysperistalsis.
“The uterine function of rapid and directed sperm transport into the ‘dominant tube’ is dysfunctional in women with endometriosis and is characterized by hyper- and dysperistalsis [27–32].”

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.
