We examined clinical, genetic, and molecular links between sleep disorders and endometriosis. Women aged 20-54 years in NHANES 2005-2006 were analyzed with survey-weighted logistic regression. Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) …
The female reproductive system is a hormonally driven, immune-active, and structurally dynamic system in which estrogen signaling, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling interact to support essential reproductive processes. Cyclical …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a prevalent, disabling syndrome encompassing overlapping disorders such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and myofascial pain syndrome. Despite distinct clinical …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by chronic pelvic inflammation, but the etiology of this inflammation remains poorly understood. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whereby senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a …
Melatonin has evolved from its classical role as a pineal-derived circadian regulator to a molecule increasingly recognized for its mitochondrial and cytoprotective functions. This review examines the molecular mechanisms and …
Endometriosis is a common, chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus and frequently associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its high prevalence, …
Endometriosis is a common, chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside of the uterus that can impact fertility through multiple mechanisms. In this review, the diagnosis, …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder affecting reproductive‑aged women, characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and chronic pelvic pain that severely impairs quality of life. Although its pathogenesis remains incompletely …
Endometriosis is one of the most common causes of chronic pelvic or lower-abdominal pain, yet mechanisms, predictors, and patient-centered treatment pathways remain insufficiently defined. This article summarizes the situation in …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is commonly associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Increasing evidence indicates that lower urinary …
