Endometriosis-associated pelvic pain represents a prototypical failure of systemic therapy for a locally organized, neuroinflammatory disease. Persistent pain arises from the convergence of estrogen-driven lesion survival, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and …
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 …
Adenomyosis is a benign gynecologic condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma present within the myometrium. Background/Objectives: The gold standard in diagnosis is the histology of hysterectomy specimens. Due …
Endometriosis and endometrial polyps are both estrogen-dependent conditions, and an association between these two pathologies has been observed in infertile women. Our research question was: "Is there an association between …
Background: Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a localized gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue. However, high recurrence rates following apparently complete surgical excision challenge this lesion-based …
Umbilical endometriosis, or Villar's nodule, is a rare form of cutaneous endometriosis in which ectopic endometrial tissue involves the umbilical skin. It may occur without any history of abdominal or …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, resulting in chronic inflammation, recurrent pain, and infertility, and affecting approximately 190 million …
Endometriosis, affecting 1 in 9 women, presents treatment and diagnostic challenges. To address these issues, we generated a comprehensive single-cell atlas of endometrial tissue, comprising 466,371 cells from 35 endometriosis …
This review synthesizes current evidence on how endometrial polyps, leiomyomas, adenomyosis, and endometriosis influence endometrial receptivity, emphasizing phenotype-specific effects, molecular mechanisms, and implications for embryo transfer outcomes.
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring synchronously with menstruation and represents the most common manifestation of thoracic endometriosis. CP predominantly involves the right hemithorax …
