Fundal endometrial indentation depth in uterine anomalies: a comparative study of women with and without polycystic ovary morphology

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common and rising cause of infertility among women. The main features of PCOS are oligo‐anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM). Although a high prevalence of uterine abnormalities has been reported in infertile patients with PCOS/PCOM, few studies have explored the differences in features of uterine abnormalities among women with PCOS/PCOM. Thus, we conducted this study to assess differences in uterine fundal endometrial indentation depth between women with and without PCOM using three-dimensional ultrasound (۳D-US). This cross-sectional study was conducted at Royan Research Institute in Tehran, Iran, between January ۲۰۲۱ and December ۲۰۲۲. A total of ۱۱۲ infertile patients with uterine anomalies (septate and arcuate uterine) were enrolled in the study. The results indicated that the measured depth of fundal endometrial indentation of uterine cavity in patients with and without PCOM was ۷.۱۰ ± ۳.۹۰ and ۷.۲۵ ± ۳.۶۷, respectively. This difference was not statistically significant (P > ۰.۰۵), indicating no association between PCOM and fundal endometrial indentation depth.
