Endometriosis is a common and painful condition. We present a case of a 33-year-old woman who had delivered triplets after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) for male factor infertility. She did not have any clinical features suggestive of endometriosis before the IVF treatment. The patient presented 7 years after conception, with premensural and postmenstrual abdominal pain and intense pain on defecation. The patient was diagnosed to have endometriosis in the tract of transvaginal ovum pick up in the right pouch of Douglas and right distal uterosacral ligament. The patient underwent excision of a nodule of endometriosis. The patient is asymptomatic 1 month after surgery. Histopathology analysis revealed features suggestive of endometriosis. The needle ovum pick up tract must have implanted the endometriotic tissue near the pararectal tissue. This is an unreported and late complication of IVF treatment.
子宫内膜异位症是一种常见且疼痛的病症。我们报告一例33岁女性病例,该女性因男性因素不孕接受体外受精(IVF)后产下三胞胎。在IVF治疗前,她没有任何提示子宫内膜异位症的临床特征。患者在受孕7年后出现经前和经后腹痛以及排便时剧痛。患者被诊断为在右道格拉斯窝经阴道取卵路径及右子宫骶骨韧带远端患有子宫内膜异位症。患者接受了子宫内膜异位症结节切除术。术后1个月患者无症状。组织病理学分析显示有提示子宫内膜异位症的特征。经针取卵路径必定在直肠旁组织附近植入了子宫内膜异位组织。这是IVF治疗一种未被报道的晚期并发症。
