------------------------------------Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding is known to cause a great impact on patient?s quality of life. Adenomyosis is
frequently associated with abnormal uterine bleeding and it can influence quality of life and of sexual life satisfaction. We
performed this pilot study to evaluate quality of life in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding associate to adenomyosis.
Material & Methods: We included 10 patients with adenomyosis diagnosed by transvaginal pelvic ultrasound. Abnormal
uterine bleeding was measured by bleeding score. Patients were submitted to hysteroscopy to exclude uterine cavitary
pathologies and adenomyosis was diagnosed by ultrasound scan. We applied WQOL-BREEF to measure quality of life
scores. We use visual-analogue scores to measure pain scores.
Results: Patients presented mean age of 38.5 ±5.4 years old. Visual scale pain scores were 6.5 ±4.4 for dysmenorrhea,
5.1 ±7.1 for dyspareunia and 4.5 ±0.7 for acyclic chronic pelvic pain. Patients presented the following scores: physical
domain of 40.2 ±18.9, psychological domain of 54.2 ±16.3, social domain 66.7±29.7 and environmental domain 50.8
±15.4. We found a positive correlation between pain scores and quality of life, and we also found a positive correlation
between bleeding scores and quality of life.
Conclusion: Adenomyosis negatively affects quality of life of patients suffering of abnormal uterine bleeding. Patients
with higher bleeding score have the worst quality of life scores.
