Article Main Content

This study aimed to look at the link between adenomyosis and fertility, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes. Until April 2022, an electronic search was conducted utilizing the Medline, Pubmed, and Cochrane databases. There were seventeen observational studies in total. After assisted reproductive technology, adenomyosis was linked to a reduced clinical pregnancy rate (OR 0.69; 95 percent CI 0.51, 0.94) and a greater miscarriage rate (OR 2.17; 95 percent CI 1.25, 3.79) (ART). The lower clinical pregnancy rate was more substantial in the subset of individuals with brief downregulation regimens. Similar relationships were seen after age adjustment. Preeclampsia, premature delivery, cesarean section, fetal malpresentation, small-for-gestational-age infancy, and postpartum hemorrhage were also substantially linked to adenomyosis, which was confirmed after adjusting for age and mode of conception. Finally, adenomyosis is a disease that affects the muscles.
