Background: Ovarian cystectomy is standard treatment for endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comprises retrospective comparative and …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can cause many problems such as dipmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical, demographic, …
Patients with endometriosis have greater risk of infertility, which is associated with compromised ovarian function. Dysfunction in follicular granulosa cells and hyperactivation of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are evident in …
Adiposity influences reproductive function via endocrine and immune pathways. The association between body mass index (BMI) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in endometriosis is uncertain, and BMI may not fully capture …
‘I was losing feeling in my legs’: Niamh Ryan on living with undiagnosed endometriosis IMAGE.ie
Female infertility is a multifactorial condition with complex biological and clinical underpinnings. Biologically, female-related infertility may stem from disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, impaired folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation defects, uterine …
To evaluate pre-operative serum AMH levels among women with and without incident endometriosis and to assess whether levels differ by surgical staging and typology.
Introduction Scientific evidence has shown that regular physical activity (PA) is beneficial to health. However, no consensus has been reached on the association between PA and the success rates of …
The reduction in oocyte competence and ovarian reserve coincides with reproductive ageing; nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Our testable mechanistic hypothesis is that the oxidative …
To examine the correlation between levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)-which serves as an indicator of ovarian reserve-and inflammation markers in women with endometriomas.
