“…This may be because 65% of our patients were less than 35 years of age and the prevalence of adenomyosis is lower at that age [11]. However, the low prevalence rate may also indicate that our diagnostic sensitivity for adenomyosis might be lower, and some patients with mild adenomyosis might have been included in our control group, weakening the differences between groups 1 and 2.…”

Aims: To study the effect of adenomyosis on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes in infertile patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective, database-searched cohort study based on 10,268 patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF/ICSI between 2009 and 2011 in our unit. Adenomyosis was diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound. A high-quality matched cohort study with strict inclusion criteria was conducted. We compared the basic characteristics and main IVF/ICSI outcomes between the two groups. Results: We identified 83 patients with adenomyosis, of whom we included 77, and strictly matched them to 77 patients without adenomyosis. Higher day 3 estrogen levels and a longer duration of gonadotropin stimulation days were found in women with adenomyosis compared to control subjects. Patients with adenomyosis had a nonsignificant trend toward a lower clinical pregnancy rate and a higher miscarriage rate (p = 0.103 and 0.09, respectively). The delivery rate was significantly lower in the adenomyosis group in comparison to the matched controls (p = 0.022). Conclusions: Within the limitations of a retrospective study (albeit with a remarkably large number of observations), our results suggest that transvaginal ultrasound-diagnosed adenomyosis could have a negative impact on the main IVF/ICSI outcomes. Improving the diagnostic validity and scoring of disease severity in patients with adenomyosis is suggested.

“…31 It was thought that this represented myometrial smooth muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy reaction due to presence of ectopic endometrial glands within the myometrium. 19,29 In the index study myometrial cysts had lowest sensitivity (6.52%) and highest specificity. Thus from the index study it was concluded that the absence of the myometrial cysts does not rule out the disease but its presence is highly suggestive of adenomyosis.…”

“…It is a common disease, affecting approximately 20-30 % of adult women [35]. More importantly, though, two-thirds of these women present with menometrorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and possibly infertility [36].…”
