Endometriosis is defined as a condition in which endometrium-like tissues are present in organs other than the uterus. It has been reported that 5%-10% of women of reproductive age have endometriosis. 1-3 It is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, which causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis usually involves the ovaries, ligaments, and peritoneal surfaces, and less commonly occurs in the intestine, bladder, abdominal wall, thoracic cavity, and other organs. The etiology of endometriosis has remained mostly unknown, despite much literature and some predominant theories. The most widely accepted theory for the pathogenesis of endometriosis is retrograde menstruation through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity. 4 Once endometrial cells adhere to peritoneal surfaces, they can grow and invade onto peritoneal structures, under the influence

“…B-type abdominal ultrasound performed by two senior doctors from the radiological department with at least 3 years of experience. The gynecological diseases that were tested in this study included vaginitis, 16 pelvic inflammatory disease (DIC), 17 dysmenorrhea, 18 endometriosis 19 and ovarian cysts. 20 B-type ultrasonography can be used to detect uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic effusion in the lower abdomen of patients with pelvic inflammation, and so on.…”

Aim: Given the increasing prevalence of hysteromyoma among the Chinese rural women of childbearing age, it is imperative that more attention should be given to researching risk factors that predispose women to this condition so that early preventive measures may be taken. Our study investigates potential risk factors for uterine fibroids such as participants' demographic characteristics (age, ethnicity, education), physiological characteristics (age at menarche, primiparous age), and the occurrence of several different female reproductive diseases (vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease). Methods: 2200 rural women of reproductive age were screened from a cross-sectional study carried out in the northern Anhui province. Data were collected by questionnaire surveys, gynecological and laboratory examinations and were subjected to univariate and multivariate analysis to evaluate the risk factors for uterine fibroids. Results: Of the 2200 women, 440 had uterine fibroids. In general, women with endometriosis, ovarian cysts and early menarche were more likely to suffer from hysteromyoma. Factors including higher parity, late age of first childbirth, and a regular menstrual cycle were associated with the reduced risk of uterine fibroids. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that parameters such as earlier age of menarche, early primiparous age, lower parity and a variety of female reproductive diseases were associated with an increased risk of uterine fibroids. These findings may be used to guide the formulation of effective prevention and intervention protocols to improve the reproductive health of rural women.

“…Sonographers are generally the ones performing ultrasound and, as yet, there has been little or no attempt to introduce advanced TVS concepts for endometriosis into their education 9 . Though the rate of MRI utilization in the USA was low, there is a disproportionate amount of literature on MRI, compared to advanced TVS, for endometriosis being produced in the USA [10][11][12] . The rate of utilization of MRI in the UK (Table 1) may permit the BSGE respondents to manage their patients appropriately, but it may also be limiting the necessity to increase accessibility and adoption of advanced TVS, which is equally useful and cheaper and easier to facilitate.…”
