ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how to improve the use of ultrasound for diagnosing a condition called adenomyosis, which affects the uterus. The researchers want to understand what normal measurements of the uterus should be and how often women with certain uterine problems experience repeated miscarriages. If you're a woman between the ages of 18 and 60 and are willing to provide informed consent, you may be eligible to participate in this study. However, if you've had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus), are still a virgin, have certain types of cancer, or have given birth or been pregnant in the last six months, you won't be able to take part.

Participants in this trial can expect to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound, which is a special type of ultrasound that helps doctors get a better look at the uterus. This study is currently recruiting participants, and it's important to know that your involvement could help improve how doctors diagnose and treat conditions like adenomyosis in the future.
