Article Synopsis
- Adenomyosis is a painful condition affecting women that can lead to symptoms like severe menstrual pain, heavy bleeding, and infertility, and new thermal ablation techniques present minimally invasive treatment options.
- Techniques like high-intensity focused ultrasound, microwave ablation, and radiofrequency ablation are found to effectively reduce symptoms and uterine size without compromising fertility or requiring lengthy hospital stays.
- Despite promising results regarding safety and effectiveness, further research is needed to compare these new treatments to traditional therapies to inform future medical decisions.
Connecting the dots: Exploring appendiceal endometriosis in women with diaphragmatic endometriosis.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
November 2024
Objectives: This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of appendiceal endometriosis (AppE) in patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE), compare it with the prevalence in patients without DiaE, and delineate the anatomical distribution of endometriotic lesions within these cohorts.
Study Design: Comparison of the characteristics of patients with AppE and DiaE with the characteristics of patients with abdominal endometriosis without diaphragmatic involvement, in a prospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center; endometriosis center.
Objective: To provide a brief summary of the high incidence, symptomatology, different types, and diagnosis of adenomyosis and to explore various aspects of the disease, with the primary aim of raising awareness among gynecologists for appropriate and early detection.
Background: Adenomyosis, a benign gynecological condition characterized by the infiltration of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, poses significant challenges to women's reproductive health.
Methods: A narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases and offering a non-systematic summary and critical analysis of current knowledge on the impact of adenomyosis on women's health.
Study Question: Does double vitrification and thawing of an embryo compromise the chance of live birth after a single blastocyst transfer?
Summary Answer: The live birth rate (LBR) obtained after double vitrification was comparable to that obtained after single vitrification.
What Is Known Already: Double vitrification-warming (DVW) is commonly practiced to accommodate surplus viable embryos suitable for transfer, to allow retesting of inconclusively diagnosed blastocysts in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and to circumvent limitations associated with national policies on embryo culture in certain countries. Despite its popularity, the evidence concerning the impact of DVW practice on ART outcomes is limited and lacking credibility.
