The aim of this work was to study the effect of uterine myomata on the implantation rate and outcome in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Among 406 patients, 51 (12.6%) were found to have uterine corporeal myomata. Twelve patients were excluded from the study as they had large myomata, submucous myomata or intramural myomata encroaching on the cavity. The...

Background: We recently demonstrated the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) on tissue inflammation, angiogenesis and apoptosis in endometriosis, adenomyosis and uterine myoma. Here, we investigated expression of GnRH receptors (GnRHR) and effect of GnRHa on the proliferation of cells derived from endometria and pathologic lesions of women with these reproductive diseases. ...

Today, infertility takes a major place in gynecology practice. Non-puerperal uterine inversion is a rare event and usually accompanies submucous myoma, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant mixed Mullerian tumour, and endometrial polyp. Herein, we report a 39-year-old woman who suffered from secondary infertility together with uterine inversion, which is an extremely rare co-existence.

OBJECTIVES Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent and widespread environmental pollutant, which may constitute a potential risk factor for hormone-dependent tumors such as endometrial cancer. The vascular endothelium is an important target of cadmium toxicity, which may interfere with the coagulation cascade and fibrinolytic system. The aim of this research was to investigate whether in female patients w...

Our case report as the second one in the medical literature demonstrated successful outcome of acupuncture treatment of uterine myoma in terms of tumor size reduction and absence of hypermenorrhea and anemia with successful perinatal outcome with two healthy newborns after previous late miscarriage. Accordingly, acupuncture treatment can be used as an inexpensive, efficient and simple therapeut...

BACKGROUND This study compares results of endometrial ablation alone and in combination with myoma coagulation. Subsequent surgery rates were 38% for ablation alone and 12% for combined therapy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare hysterectomy rates following various surgical procedures to treat profuse uterine bleeding as well as myomatous uteri. STUDY DESIGN This is a descr...

OBJECTIVE To assess the indications and limits of laparoscopic myomectomies (LM). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 89 consecutive cases of LM. Our LM procedures were as follows: Diluted vasopressin was injected into the myoma capsule, and a transverse incision was made by fine monopolar electrode. Traction was applied to the myoma with a myoma screw. The uterine wall was sutur...
