Spontaneous abortion and endometriosis

Abnormal Uterine Contractility in Nonpregnant Women

“…This passage is supported by myometrial hypercontractility which is reflected on endometrium. We should also remark that an increased incidence of spontaneous abortion is found in patients with endometriosis, 11 and this is reflected in the abnormal uterine contractility patterns obtained by intrauterine pressure registration in the two groups of patients.…”

Sterilitätstherapie bei Endometriose

“…eine IVF/ICSI (In-vitro-Fertilisation/intrazytoplasmatische Spermieninjektion) durchgeführt werden [9]. Bei der (heterologen) IUI sind die zu erwartenden Schwangerschaftsraten mit maximal 4% pro Zyklus im Vergleich zu 12% bei Patientinnen ohne Endometriose angegeben [10].…”

The Association of Endometriosis and Repetitive (Early) Spontaneous Abortions

“…47 More importantly, many of the studies of women with a spontaneous abortion and endometriosis employed a preselected population distinct from the general population. 14,47 Therapeutic adjunctive procedures such as laparoscopy and chromopertubation have also not been completely evaluated statistically when considering endometriosis and spontaneous abortion. The high rate of spontaneous cure seen in women with a history of early pregnancy losses 48 must be included in the statistics that show improvement after treatment for endometriosis.…”

“…Although these studies appear to show an increased frequency of spontaneous abortion in women with endometriosis when compared to the general population, the possibility exists that the selected subpopulation studied manifests a higher than expected abortion rate. 14 Suggested approaches to the analysis of the data concerning the relationship of spontaneous abortion will also be discussed.…”
