Assessment of the Uterus Using Ultrasonographic Elastography in Women with Dysmenorrhea
Sponsor: Ufuk University
Summary
The aim of this study is to perform sonoelastographic assessment of the uterus in patients diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea and to compare these measurements with sonoelastographic evaluations of the uteri in asymptomatic individuals. This will enable, for the first time, the demonstration of whether the elasticity of the myometrial tissue contributes to the etiology of primary dysmenorrhea. Secondary Objectives: To determine whether there is a correlation between the severity of primary dysmenorrhea and ultrasonographic markers.

sonoelastography
Elasticity is defined as the ability of an organ or tissue to return to its original shape after being deformed by an applied force or stress. Based on this principle, sonoelastography is a technique used to assess the elasticity of tissues and organs during ultrasonography. This assessment allows measurement of changes in stiffness of soft tissues following physiological or pathological processes.
