description Objectives To investigate all pregnancies and analyze the factors influencing pregnancy outcomes in patients with adenomyosis after high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).Materials and methods A total of 231 patients with adenomyosis who completed HIFU and wished to conceive were enrolled. The symptom improvement and information of pregnancy were recorded during the follow-up period. Factors influencing pregnancy outcomes were analyzed using multivariate regression analysis and survival analysis.Results After HIFU, 100 of 231 (43.3%) patients became pregnant within 96 months, including 77 (77/194, 39.7%) in natural and 23 (23/37, 62.2%) in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancies following gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa). Among the 108 (46.8%, 108/231) infertile patients (defined as the failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse, 40 primary infertility and 68 secondary infertility), 31 (28.7%) became pregnant. At the end of the follow-up, 70 successfully delivered 71 healthy babies. No uterine rupture occurred during pregnancy and delivery. Patients with pelvic adhesion and infertility history had a lower pregnancy chance than that of patients without pelvic adhesion and infertility history (OR < 1, p < 0.05). Patients with small adenomyotic lesion volume had a greater pregnancy chance than that of patients with large lesion volume (OR < 1, p < 0.05). IVF-ET following GnRHa had a better pregnancy chance (p < 0.05).Conclusions HIFU seems to have a beneficial effect on fertility of patients with adenomyosis. Pelvic adhesion, infertility history, and large adenomyotic lesion volume have adverse effects on pregnancy, but IVF-ET following GnRHa after HIFU could increase the pregnancy chance.
