The clinical diagnosis of adenomyosis is elusive but should be suspected in women who complain of abnormal uterine bleeding or dysmenorrhea and have a regular but enlarged uterus. The use of newer diagnostic imaging modalities and recent research on myometrial biopsies should enable the clinician to arrive at a definite preoperative diagnosis and offer the patient treatment tailored to her needs.

Background Endometriosis-related infertility and its treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been broadly researched. Yet, underlying mechanisms of infertility, particularly in the absence of tubal dysfunction, remain unclear. While the impact of inflammatory milieu on the ovary and/or endometrium has been indicated as a contributing factor, recent evidence from euploid transfers and donor cycles questions the extent of these effects.

: The aim of this study is to assess the inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of the identification of direct and indirect ultrasonographic features of adenomyosis as defined by the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) consensus (2022). : A cohort of 74 women, aged 18 to 45, were recruited from the recurrent miscarriage and general gynaecology clinic at a university-based fertility centre. All the participants underwent 2D and 3D transvaginal Ultrasound scan (TVS) examination in the late follicular and early luteal phase.

Most stillbirths and approximately two-thirds of preterm births, however, occur in the absence of evident risk factors. The majority of stillbirths occur in the preterm period, yet there are few interventions targeting this period, and progress to reduce stillbirth rates remains slow.

BACKGROUND Acute urinary retention (AUR) is relatively rare in non-pregnant women and is usually associated with lower urinary tract dysfunction, neurological issues, or pelvic organ compression. Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic condition characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium, often accompanied by symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual periods. Although adenomyosis is common, its involvement in causing urinary retention is rare but deserves clinical attention.
