Abstract

Objective: Detailed description and follow-up of a patient with atypical polypoid adenomyoma and infertility, from investigation until delivery of a healthy baby.

Design: Case report.

Setting: Tertiary infertility center.

Patient(s): A patient suffering from persistent APA and infertility.

Intervention(s): Danggui (Angelica sinensis) and low-dose aspirin.

Main outcome measure(s): Pregnancy and live birth.

Result(s): Conception after Danggui but intrauterine death at 25 weeks. Successful live birth after Danggui plus low-dose aspirin.

Conclusion(s): Danggui corrected atypical polypoid adenomyoma and led to pregnancy twice in the same patient. Low-dose aspirin may improve the circulation in the placental bed and lead to live birth.
