Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue, comprising both glandular and stromal components, located outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately …
Endometriosis can significantly affect family and intimate relationships. This mixed-methods study examined the impact of endometriosis on family life, with a focus on parenting. Women completed an online survey including …
Adenomyosis frequently coexists with endometriosis and shares overlapping symptoms; however, the symptom burden of isolated adenomyosis remains insufficiently defined. The aim of this study was to compare the severity and …
The pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM) remains intricate and multifactorial. This study aimed to investigate the biological functions of microRNA-769-5p (miR-769-5p) in an in vitro model of EM. Serum was obtained …
Vitamin D a fat-soluble steroid hormone signals through Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs) located throughout the ovaries, uterus, placenta, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland, influencing immune regulation and female reproductive physiology. This …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) has been implicated in immune dysregulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis. Data on baseline secretion of TGF-β isoforms …
Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) remains challenging due to the lack of a perfect diagnostic standard and the poor concordance between clinical symptoms and lesion severity. Although laparoscopy is …
Endometriosis and endometrial cancer are distinct gynecological conditions that share overlapping biological mechanisms with implications for clinical management. Endometriosis is a chronic, benign disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of …
Precise staging of endometriosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnosis depends almost entirely on laparoscopic visualization-an invasive procedure marked by considerable inter-observer disagreement and diagnostic delays. Existing non-invasive approaches, …
Bowel endometriosis is often considered an indication for extensive surgical management, including colorectal resection, in women undergoing surgery for concomitant endometriosis at other sites. However, several contemporary studies show little …
