Research Question: Is there a change in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria of diffuse and focal phenotypes of adenomyosis before and after pregnancy?
Design: A retrospective, monocentric, observational study in a single academic tertiary referral centre for endometriosis diagnosis and management. Women were followed for symptomatic adenomyosis, and without a prior history of surgery who give birth after 24+0 weeks. For each patient, pelvic MRI pre- and post-pregnancy was performed by two experienced radiologists with the same image acquisition protocol.
Research Question: Is a decrease in dysmenorrhoea after suppressive hormonal therapy a marker of the endometriosis phenotype and of greater disease severity?
Design: Retrospective observational cohort study conducted in a French university hospital, between January 2004 and December 2019. Non-pregnant women aged younger than 42 years, who tested for dysmenorrhoea relief after suppressive hormonal therapy before surgery, and who had histological confirmation of endometriosis, were included. The comparisons were carried out according to the results of the suppressive hormonal test.
Background: The time between symptoms onset and endometriosis diagnosis is usually long. The negative impacts of delayed endometriosis diagnosis can affect patients and health outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study using clinical symptoms and epidemiological data extracted from a prospective pre-operative patient questionnaire compared between patients with histologically proven endometriosis and patients with no endometriosis at surgical exploration from 2005 to 2018, in a French referral center.
