“…This finding is in accord with the study of Piriyev and R ömer 21 , who postulated that uterine peristalsis could be impaired in women with uterine malformation, regardless of its obstructive or non-obstructive character, resulting in retrograde menstruation, which in turn triggers the development of endometriosis. An association between uterine fibroids and endometriosis has also been reported previously and could be explained by abnormal expression of aromatase, creating a hyperestrogenic milieu and facilitating the growth of both endometriosis and fibroids 22,23 .…”

What are the novel findings of this work?Deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioma were found to be relatively common in women attending for an early pregnancy ultrasound assessment and were often asymptomatic. Decidualization of the lesions was frequently observed. The presence of endometriosis was associated with a history of subfertility and presence of other pelvic abnormalities. What are the clinical implications of this work?This is the first study to report on the prevalence and morphological appearance of deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioma in early pregnancy and to investigate their association with women's demographic and clinical characteristics. A detailed ultrasound examination should be offered to high-risk women to facilitate referral for specialist antenatal care.

“…The average age of patients with endometriosis and endometrial carcinoma was 61 years 14 , in the study by Dr. Serveta, which is similar to our results, also in the study done by Seza Tetikkurt the age of the patient was above 55 years. 3,14 S Johnatty et al evaluated the co-existence of leiomyomas, adenomyosis, and endometriosis in 1399 endometrial carcinoma patients and concluded these conditions as risk factors for endometrial carcinoma (EC).…”

Objective: To see the association of endometriosis with other uterine conditions in our setup. Study Design: Descriptive Retrospective study. Setting: Private Lab in Faisalabad. Period: January 2010 to December 2019. Material & Methods: A total of 297 cases were evaluated in this study. We have included all endometriosis cases with associated other conditions of the uterus. In this study paraffin blocks and previous slides along with clinical data were analyzed according to the standard protocols. All the data including age, location of endometriosis, and association with other uterine conditions were noted and reported as percentages. Results: In this study, we analyzed 297 endometriosis cases, received during ten years. The age group ranges from 15 years to 75 years. The most common age group ranges from 26-30 years, 87(29%) cases, and the least commonly affected group was 71-75 years, only one case. The most common site of endometriosis was in the ovaries, 169(57%) cases. The most common associated other condition was benign tumor leiomyoma, 65(43%) cases while only one case of endometrial carcinoma was noted. Conclusion: This study concludes that ovarian endometriosis is the most common location and there is a strong association with another co-existing benign tumor such as leiomyoma. This signifies the possibility of common risk factors such as hyperestrogenism. Thus it is important to be aware of the possibility of co-existence of other conditions so that they can be treated at once in a single surgery.

Uterine factor infertility (UFI) is defined as a condition resulting from either a complete lack of a uterus or a non-functioning uterus due to many causes. The exact prevalence of UFI is currently unknown, while treatments to achieve pregnancy are very limited. To evaluate the prevalence of this condition within its different causes, we carried out a worldwide systematic review on UFI. We performed research on the prevalence of UFI and its various causes throughout the world, according to the PRISMA criteria. A total of 188 studies were included in qualitative synthesis. UFI accounted for 2.1 to 16.7% of the causes of female infertility. We tried to evaluate the proportion of the different causes of UFI: uterine agenesia, hysterectomies, uterine malformations, uterine irradiation, adenomyosis, synechiae and Asherman syndrome, uterine myomas and uterine polyps. However, the data available in countries and studies were highly heterogenous. This present systematic review underlines the lack of a consensual definition of UFI. A national register of patients with UFI based on a consensual definition of Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility and Non-Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility would be helpful for women, whose desire for pregnancy has reached a dead end.
