Female fertility relies heavily on the health of the oviduct and uterus. Each of these organs consist of a muscular tube lined by epithelial cells. In this review, we discuss …
This case report demonstrates the enhanced visualization capabilities of FAPI in visualizing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions compared to ultrasonography and MRI, suggesting its potential as a powerful diagnostic tool …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition, but intestinal involvement leading to bowel obstruction is rare, occurring in only 0.1-0.7% of cases. Diagnostic delay is frequent due to non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms.
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
The dynamics of peritoneal fluid has vital applications in various physiological functions, particularly in female reproductive physiology, which modulates the transport of gametes within the fallopian tubes. This research aims …
This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …
Unexplained infertility (UI) continues to pose a diagnostic challenge, affecting a considerable proportion of reproductive-aged women. Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may contribute to impaired female reproductive function. …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by ectopic lesions that disrupt endometrial decidualization, a process frequently accompanied by aberrant collagen deposition and closely linked to clinical infertility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder and a leading cause of female infertility. Ovarian endometriomas, a common manifestation of endometriosis, are commonly associated with diminished ovarian function; however, the …
