AimTo assess and compare the uterine volume and endometrium length between women with and without endometriosis, using pelvic magnetic resonance imaging scans.MethodsIn this case–control study, a total of 75 nulligravid women (aged 20–45 years) with regular menstrual cycles whose uterus were free of any surgically confirmed lesions were enrolled. The endometriosis group underwent surgery for endometrioma (n= 39), and the control group underwent surgery for non‐endometrioma ovarian cysts (n= 36). The primary outcome was uterine corpus volume, which was assessed using three‐dimensional reconstructions of preoperative pelvic magnetic resonance imaging scans.ResultsThe mean uterine volume was significantly larger in the endometriosis group than in the control group (mean ± standard deviation, 50.9 ± 14.4 cm3vs 41.7 ± 14.3 cm3;P< 0.01). The longitudinal length and transverse diameter of the corpus and the longitudinal length of the endometrium were also significantly greater in the endometriosis group (all,P< 0.01).ConclusionsAn increase in uterine volume and endometrium length was observed in women with endometriosis.
