Adenomyosis’ frequency among hysterectomies carried out for obstetric difficulties is unknown, although it has historically been predicated on individuals who had hysterectomies for gynaecological reasons. This study's objective was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical effects of adenomyosis among women having hysterectomy procedures connected to pregnancy. This study used a retrospective cohort design. To find instances of PH, records of women who gave birth at a regional centre for tertiary obstetric care in Milan between were examined. The reports of surgical specimens' histopathology were looked at. For baseline characteristics, obstetric history, and outcomes, those with adenomyosis were contrasted with those without adenomyosis. Results: There were births throughout the research period and Adenomyosis.
Adenomyosis; Gynaecological reasons; Pregnancy
The ectopic presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the uterine myometrium, which causes hypertrophic and hyperplastic changes, characterises the benign gynaecological condition known as adenomyosis. Heavy periods, dysmenorrhea, and persistent pelvic discomfort are related symptoms that have a negative effect on women's quality of life. Additionally, there is mounting proof that this illness affects fertility and pregnancy outcomes in a meaningful way by altering the uterine environment in morphological, functional, and immunochemical ways. For diagnosis and decision-making, transvaginal ultrasonography is preferred over magnetic resonance, which is only necessary in a few circumstances. Histological evaluation during hysterectomy is generally the basis for final confirmation. Laparoscopic and ultrasound-guided uterine biopsy techniques have been studied over the past ten years, with mixed results for sensitivity and high specificity.
Myometrial lesions, such as adenomyosis, being identified, although this strategy shows promise, no firm suggestions about the best sample method have yet been published. Because of this, patients who have hysterectomies for gynaecological reasons account for the majority of epidemiological data on adenomyosis. As far as we are aware, there is no information on the frequency of adenomyosis among hysterectomies carried out for obstetric problems.
A pregnancy-related hysterectomy is often carried out to save the life of the patient in cases of excessive bleeding, diseases of the placenta accreta range, uterine rupture, or sepsis. For obstetric systems surveillance, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated PH as maternal near-miss criteria. It has been encouraged to use the study of these cases to put into action tactics to increase peripartum safety. The findings of a retrospective investigation carried out at a single high-clinical facility are presented in this publication.
In the twelve-year research period, 13.8% of hysterectomies associated to pregnancy had adenomyosis. The medical history was often quiet on an illness diagnosis made before to becoming pregnant. A history of endometriosis, use of assisted reproductive technologies, and uterine septoplasty surgery were all more commonly reported in cases with PH with adenomyosis. Significant associations between the disease's prevalence and placenta previa, chorioamnionitis, and earlier gestational ages at birth have also been found endometriosis in the past. Two hypotheses need to be given in order to explain the remaining 14 instances without a history. First, it's possible that the medical history inquiry conducted at the time of delivery overlooked a previous diagnostic suspicion of adenomyosis during imaging. Second, before pregnancy, the condition was not recognised to exist. The latter hypothesis is supported by the up to 10-year diagnostic lag that nearly always defines adenomyosis diagnosis and the frequently incorrect sonographic imaging of the myometrium. Additionally, because neovascularization affects the sonographic imaging of the myometrium during pregnancy, the diagnosis may go undiagnosed. Suppose these predictions are true. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study examining the clinical burden of adenomyosis among women having hysterectomy due to obstetric problems, offering the chance to look at its effects from a fresh angle.
Adenomyosis has been suggested as a pathophysiological relationship between endometriosis and aberrant placentation through immunochemical processes. Both endometriosis and adenomyosis have the potential to deform the endometrial cavity, which may contribute to the uterus's ineffective performance during labour and delivery. Additionally, adenomyosis and diseases associated with placenta accreta have several key risk factors. Since both groups had a high incidence of prior caesarean deliveries and the sample was heavily screened, it is likely that no correlation did not develop in this research. The standard analysis of surgical specimens may have played an ambivalent role. It certainly has the advantage of pursuing a reproducible method, allowing investigation over a long period. On the other hand, standard sampling technique could potentially have missed some cases of focal adenomyosis, in particular adenomyosis of the outer myometrium. As a consequence, we were not able to provide a reliable distinction between different phenotypes of adenomyosis. In agreement with the literature derived from the analysis of gynecological specimens, we believe that a prospective investigation of obstetric cases based on the inclusion of multiple samples could lead to the detection of a higher prevalence of adenomyosis In our opinion, the most important limitation of the study is the generalizability of results. The study population consisted of women who had undergone hysterectomy, which is a very rare event in obstetric care. It is usually performed as an emergency procedure when conservative treatments have failed. Furthermore, the experience of a single referral hospital is undoubtedly influenced by the higher concentration of highrisk obstetric cases when compared to the general population. These issues may limit the generalizability of our findings. Finally, the retrospective design is unable to clarify causeeffect relationships [1-5].
Adenomyosis is linked to more difficult neonatal and obstetric outcomes in women undergoing PH. The failure to diagnose adenomyosis may impede clinical knowledge of increased obstetric risk; even if a direct relationship cannot be conclusively demonstrated (prior surgery may be a confounder). For women with this illness, adequate pregestational and prenatal counselling is essential. Future research should concentrate on evaluating the potential effects of adenomyosis on obstetric care.
