Ovarian endometrioma is a common form of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and diminished ovarian reserve. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is widely used to evaluate ovarian reserve, it …
Endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common, multifactorial gynecological disorders shaped by endocrine imbalance, immune dysfunction, metabolic disruption, genetic susceptibility, and environmental exposures. Despite their major contribution to infertility …
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 remains an underdiagnosed gynecological condition due to the lack of validated non-invasive biomarkers. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum cancer antigen 125 …
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 …
Which surgical technique for endometrioma has the least detrimental effect on ovarian reserves?
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 …
