OBJECTIVE To describe the endometrial pathologic lesions in premenopausal breast cancer patients with a history of tamoxifen (TMX) use. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 120 premenopausal breast cancer patients with a history of TMX use that had undergone a gynecological examination. RESULTS Among 120 patients, 44.2% (n=53) were asymptomatic with an endometrial thic...

The secretions of the equine endometrial glands are essential for the survival, growth, and development of the conceptus in early pregnancy, and endometrial gland density is directly related to successful pregnancy outcome. Endometrial biopsy is routinely used to assess the reproductive potential of broodmares. Some previous studies have shown that equine endometrial glands are uniformly distri...

BACKGROUND To study the effect of endometrial thickness and pattern measured using ultrasound upon pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing IVF-ET. METHOD One thousand nine hundred thirty-three women undergoing IVF treatment participated in the study. We assessed and recorded endometrial patterns and thickness on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration. Receiver operator...

The endometrial pattern and thickness were analysed by ultrasonography in 139 cycles stimulated for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) on the day of administration of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). A semi-programmed schedule based on the pill + clomiphene citrate + human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) was used in all cycles. On the day of HCG administration, endometrial pattern and thickness we...

Background Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis anatomically restores the uterine cavity in cases of Asherman's syndrome (AS); however, the extent of endometrial fibrosis could determine the pregnancy outcome. Objectives To determine whether endometrial thickness could influence pregnancy outcome of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in women with a history of AS. Subjects and methods This was a retrospectiv...

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common heterogeneous endocrine disorder in reproductive-age women, with prevalence around 4-12%. The present study was performed to investigate whether progesterone-induced endometrial bleed before ovulation induction affects pregnancy in patients with PCOS who underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment. A total of 241 IUI cycles were retrospectively anal...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence of recurrent postmenopausal bleeding among women who were diagnosed with an endometrial thickness greater than 4 mm. METHODS We designed a prospective cohort study and included consecutive women not using hormone replacement therapy, presenting with a first episode of postmenopausal bleeding. We evaluated patients who had an endometrial thickness greater th...

Objective: In order to evaluate the endometrium by ultrasound in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) with clomiphene citrate (CC) and human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) to determine the relationship between endometrial pattern and thickness on pregnancy rate (PR). Methods: In this prospective study, 108 infertile couples under...
