Patient characteristics
Table 1 presents patient characteristics of patients with and without a
histopathological adenomyosis diagnosis. Out of 296 patients undergoing
hysterectomy, 131 (44.2%) received adenomyosis diagnosis based on
histopathology. 34.4% (45/131) patients had concomitant uterine
fibroids, and 53.4% (70/131) had concomitant endometriosis (as
diagnosed by MRI or laparoscopy). In general, age, Body Mass Index
(BMI), medical history, and clinical symptoms were comparable between
patients with and without adenomyosis (p >.05).
However, patients with a histopathological diagnosis of adenomyosis more
often had a history of curettage after miscarriage (22.1% vs. 8.9%,p= .002).
