Adenomyosis: A potential cause of surgical failure in treating dyspareunia in rectovaginal septum endometriosis
Adenomyosis appears to reduce the effectiveness of surgical treatment for dyspareunia in patients with rectovaginal septum endometriosis. Comprehensive preoperative screening for adenomyosis is recommended to improve surgical outcomes and provide appropriate counseling. Future research should further explore the impact of adenomyosis on dyspareunia and the potential benefits of adjunctive medical therapies.
