Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and endometriosis are debilitating gynecological disorders that impair endometrial function and fertility. IUA, typically caused by iatrogenic trauma to the basal endometrium, leads to fibrosis and infertility, …
Background: Endometriosis affects 10-15% of reproductive-aged women and is a leading cause of infertility through anatomical, inflammatory, and molecular mechanisms. Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathophysiology of …
Cesarean section has become a frequent mode of delivery in the last few decades. While generally regarded as a safe procedure, it is not free of potential complications, often requiring …
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition in which pelvic MRI plays an important role in diagnosis and preoperative assessment. AI-enabled automated uterus segmentation on pelvic MRI could support endometriosis care …
Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, leading to pelvic pain and infertility. It affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive …
In Japan, the microwave endometrial ablation system (MEA, Microsulis PLC, Waterlooville, UK) is the most widely used device for endometrial ablation and is considered a minimally invasive, uterus-preserving treatment for …
