Emerging evidence suggests microbial dysbiosis may contribute to gynaecological pathologies, including endometriosis and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The vaginal microbiome is well-characterised, with Lactobacillus-dominance as a hallmark of health, yet …
The human microbiome, a dynamic endocrine organ, exerts profound systemic influence through the production of bioactive metabolites. While the microbiome-gut-brain axis is well-established, the direct conduit between the gut microbiota …
Background and objectives Diagnosis and treatment of infertility, mostly sought at tertiary facilities, contribute to substantial out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE). This study estimated OOPE among couples seeking care for endometriosis, male …
Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease with recognized systemic implications. Its potential link to female reproductive disorders, including infertility, endometriosis, and recurrent implantation failure (RIF), has attracted growing attention, …
Endometriosis (EM) and chronic endometritis (CE) are both implicated in female infertility, yet the relationship between them remains incompletely understood. In this narrative review, we synthesize non-systematically selected clinical and …
Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly …
Ovarian endometriosis (OE) is a leading cause of female infertility. Our previous work identified iron overload-driven oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in granulosa cells as key pathogenic features, yet the …
The independent causal effects of interrelated lifestyle behaviors and psychological states on women's gynecologic and obstetric health remain incompletely understood. We conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) study to disentangle …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder and a leading cause of female infertility. Ovarian endometriomas, a common manifestation of endometriosis, are commonly associated with diminished ovarian function; however, the …
The link between endometriosis and other medical conditions is gaining attention. Such insights could enhance clinical approaches to manage the disease and potentially reveal new, unrecognized mechanisms of its development. …
