Background & Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is also defined as a metabolic disease associated with relative insulin resistance during pregnancy, and elevated circulating insulin may increase the risk of EH and EC development. This study aimed to investigate the association between GDM and the incidence of EH and EC.Materials & Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study, including 300 women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) referred to Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital in Babol. Cases (n=152) were patients with HC and EC based on medical records, and the controls (n=148) were individuals without HC and EC. The groups were compared according to demographic information, GDM or diabetes mellitus (DM) history, and body mass index (BMI). The Chi-square, independent t-test, and logistic regression analyses were performed to compare groups.Results: Of 300 women studied, 72 people (24.1%) had a GDM history, and 64 people had a diabetes mellitus history. There was a significant difference between the incidence of EC and EH with GDM (P < /i>=0.001). Both GDM and DM were associated with the increased EC (OR: 17.98, 95% CI: 6.73-48.08, and OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.26-2.68, respectively). GDM was also associated with the increased risk of EH (OR: 6.68, 95% CI: 2.77-16.10), whereas diabetes mellitus had not a significant role in the increased risk of EH (P < /i>=0.14). Conclusion: This study indicated that a GDM history is significantly associated with HC and EC. Therefore, to prevent and control these two complications in the future, management and monitoring of diabetes during pregnancy should be considered.

Background & Objective: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder among women with no specified causes. It is characterized by nonspecific symptoms, and can present itself as abnormal uterine bleeding, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, and the like. Its diagnosis is made based on the pathologic histological examination of hysterectomized samples. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of adenomyosis with other benign endometrial disorders in hysterectomized samples.
Materials & Methods: In this paper a total of 413 patients who referred to Rouhani Hospital of Babol, form 2012 to 2017, and underwent a hysterectomy surgery with pathological reports confirming the diagnosis of adenomyosis, were studied. After reviewing the medical records, the patients’ data, including their age, weight, number of deliveries, place of residence, and main complaints at the time of referral as well as benign endometrial pathologies correlated with adenomyosis, were examined. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed using statistical tests.
Results: The prevalence of adenomyosis in this study was 21.7%. The patients’ most common complaints were abnormal uterine bleeding (86.4%), dysmenorrhea (39.2%), abdominal pain (31.2%), dyspareunia (21.1%), mass outflow (15%), and pelvic pain (9.4%). In the current study, the benign pathologies correlated with adenomyosis were leiomyoma (52.5%), uterine polyp (11.9%), adenomyoma (5.1%), and hyperplasia (0.5%).
Conclusion: In the present study, the prevalence of adenomyosis was high and abnormal uterine bleeding was the patients’ most prevalent complaint. Moreover, leiomyoma had the highest correlation with adenomyosis.
