Background The endometrial echopattern on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) administration and its relationship to the outcome of pregnancy after assisted reproductive treatment (ART) cycles was analyzed, prospectively. MaterialsAndMethods This study conducted between 2013 to 2014. The endometrial pattern was evaluated prospectively on the day of administration of HCG in 280 ART cyc...

OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma in patients presenting with post-menopausal bleeding while taking histopathological findings as the gold standard. METHODS The cross-sectional study was done at the Department of Radiology, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur, from April 1 to September 30, 2009, and comprised 128 patients abo...

CONTEXT Available data concerning effects of testosterone on endometrium of postmenopausal women are seriously limited. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare the influence of treatment with testosterone and/or estrogen on endometrial proliferation in healthy postmenopausal women. DESIGN This was an open, randomized clinical study with parallel comparison of the groups. SETTING The study was co...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupuncture point stimulation (TEAS) on endometrial HOXA10 protein expression and three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasound parameters as markers of endometrial receptivity in women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). METHODS A total of 68 women undergoing FET were randomised to receive TEAS or mock TEAS at acupun...

INTRODUCTION This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of PRP in the therapy of infertile women with thin endometrium (≤ 7 mm). MATERIAL AND METHODS Five women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with poor endometrial response still had thin endometrium (< 7 mm) after standard hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and had to cancel embryo transfer cycle. In addition to HRT, intrauterine in...

Endometrial receptivity plays a crucial role in the establishment of a healthy pregnancy in cycles of assisted reproduction. The endometrium as a key factor during reproduction can be assessed in multiple ways, most commonly through transvaginal grey-scale or 3-D ultrasound. It has been shown that controlled ovarian hyperstimulation has a great impact on the uterine lining, which leads to diffe...

The clinical approach to postmenopausal bleeding requires prompt and efficient evaluation to exclude or diagnose carcinoma. Women with postmenopausal bleeding may be assessed initially with either endometrial biopsy or transvaginal ultrasonography;this initial evaluation does not require performance of both tests.Transvaginal ultrasonography can be useful in the triage of patients in whom endom...

Introduction: To attach the fetus to the endometrial epithelium, the endometrium should be affected and allowed by the steroid hormones secreted from the ovary. Thus, the endometrium is then subject to several structural and biochemical changes. Implantation involves the embedment, adhesion and invasion steps that specific receptors are engaged in that. The role of membrane receptors in uterine...

Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate whether low-dose aspirin affects doppler sonographic parameters of the uterine arteries, endometrial thickness and pregnancy rate of women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. Materials and Methods: This randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled trial study was conducted between April 2012, and March 2013. A total of 60 elig...

OBJECTIVE To implement the procedure of endometrial biopsy in a case of severe Asherman syndrome as a possible treatment to increase uterine receptivity. DESIGN Case report. SETTING IVF Unit, Kaplan Medical Center, Rehovot, Israel. PATIENT(S) A 29-year-old patient with severe Asherman syndrome, who underwent six operative hysteroscopies combined with hormonal treatment, and no functional ...
