The vagina provides a local and a systemic route for delivering hormones for systemic effects and uterine targeting. Due to the 'uterine first-pass effect', hormones concentrate in the uterus and nearby tissues with low systemic exposure. V…

The uterus shows wavelike activity (WA) throughout the menstrual cycle. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) has made it possible to study the movements of the subendometrial layers of the myometrium. Several WA patterns have been described. They …

BACKGROUND: The blood supply to the tubal corner of the uterus may originate from the uterine and ovarian arteries. The border of supply from the arteries has been found to move in young women; the change seemed dependent on ovarian steroid…

The nonpregnant uterus shows uterine activity throughout the menstrual cycle. This uterine activity was detected both by single strep tissue and by using intrauterine pressure recordings in vitro and in vivo. Today, ultrasound has made it p…

Endometrial transformations achieved by vaginal progesterone exceed those normally expected from the circulating concentrations obtained, this suggests some degree of direct vagina to uterus transport. We speculate on the different mechanis…
