چکیده

مقدمه: سونوگرافی، جهت بررسی شک به وجود آندومتریوز تخمدانی و نیز ارزیابی پاتولوژی، جهت تأیید اندومتریوز انجام می­ شود. ترکیبی از روش­ های تشخیصی، جهت جمع‌بندی و شروع درمان اندومتریوز با اهمیت است. مطالعه حاضر با هدف بررسی و مقایسه تشخیص ­های بالینی و سونوگرافی در بیماران با تشخیص هیستوپاتولوژیک اندومتریوز انجام شد.
روشکار: این مطالعه گذشته­ نگر در سال 1400-1390 بر روی 140 نفر از زنان 65-18 ساله مبتلا به اندومتریوز تخمدانی، مراجعه­ کننده به بیمارستان آیت­اله روحانی شهر بابل انجام شد. تأیید اندومتریوز تخمدانی بر اساس پاتولوژی بافت و سپس مقایسه شرح‌حال بالینی با یافته ­های سونوگرافی انجام شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها، پرونده بیماران و چک‌لیست محقق ساخته بود. داده‌های گردآوری شده شامل: تظاهرات بالینی، وجود یا عدم وجود درد هنگام قاعدگی، درد شکم، درد هنگام نزدیکی، درد لگنی، خونریزی قاعدگی غیرطبیعی، کمردرد، درد هنگام دفع مدفوع و سوزش ادرار بودند. تجزیه و تحلیل داده­ ها با استفاده از نر­م­افزار آماری SPSS (نسخه 22) و آزمون‌های کای­ دو و تی تست ­مستقل انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنی‌دار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته ­ها: درد هنگام قاعدگی (63/55%)، درد شکم (59/48%) و درد هنگام نزدیکی (69/31%) به‌ترتیب شایع‌ترین علائم بالینی بودند. در سونوگرافی، وضعیت اکوژنیسیتی رحم در 99 بیمار (7/69%) هموژن و در 43 بیمار (3/30%) هتروژن گزارش شد. وضعیت اکوژنیسیتی با درد شکم (004/0=p) و خونریزی قاعدگی غیرطبیعی (032/0=p)، آدنومیوز رحم با درد شکم (004/0=p) و خونریزی قاعدگی غیرطبیعی (032/0=p)، چسبندگی تخمدانی با شکایت درد هنگام نزدیکی (002/0=p) و وضعیت لوله‌های فالوپ با شکایت درد هنگام نزدیکی (015/0=p) و سوزش ادرار (049/0=p) ارتباط معنی‌داری داشتند.
نتیجه ­گیری: درد هنگام قاعدگی، درد شکم، درد هنگام نزدیکی، خونریزی قاعدگی غیرطبیعی و سوزش ادرار با یافته­ های سونوگرافی اختلاف معنی‌داری داشتند. جهت تشخیص قطعی و درمان مناسب؛ تظاهرات بالینی، پاتولوژی و سونوگرافی بیماران می ­بایست بررسی و بر اساس آن درمان انجام شود.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Ultrasound is performed to check the growth of endometrial cells outside the uterus and the pathology is performed to confirm endometriosis. A combination of diagnostic methods is important for summarizing and starting treatment of endometriosis. The present study was performed with aim to investigate and compare clinical and ultrasound diagnoses in patients with histopathological diagnoses of endometriosis.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in 2010-2021 on 140 women aged 18-65 years old suffering from endometriosis referred to Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital in Babol city. Confirmation of endometriosis was done based on tissue pathology and then comparing clinical history with ultrasound findings. The data collection tools were the patients' files and the researcher made checklist. Collected data included clinical manifestations, presence or absence of pain during menstruation, abdominal pain, pain during intercourse, pelvic pain, abnormal menstrual bleeding, backache, pain during defecation, and dysuria. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 22) and chi-square and independent t-tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Dysmenorrhea (55.63%), abdominal pain (48.59%), and dyspareunia (31.69%) were the most common clinical symptoms. The state of uterine echogenicity was reported to be homogeneous in 99 patients (69.7%) and heterogeneous in 43 (30.3%). Echogenic status had a significant relationship with abdominal pain (p=0.004) and abnormal menstrual bleeding (p=0.032), adenomyosis with abdominal pain (p=0.004), ovarian adhesion with complaints of pain during intercourse (p=0.002) and status of fallopian tubes with complaints of pain during intercourse (p=0.015) and dysuria (p=0.049).
Conclusion: Dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, dyspareunia, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and dysuria had significant difference with ultrasound findings. For definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment, clinical manifestations, pathology, and ultrasound should be considered and treatment should be carried out based on that.
