Nutrition and endometriosis: evidence, limits and clinical perspectives.

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease frequently associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, metabolic comorbidities, and impaired quality of life. Growing interest in nutrition has led to the widespread dissemination of …

Epigenetic Mechanisms of Reproductive Dysfunction Induced by Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Evidence From Molecular Studies.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …

Influence of Oxidative Stress-Mediated Inflammation on the Pathogenesis of Reproductive Disorders: Exploring the Benefits of Carnosine for Prevention and Treatment of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic pathological condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity and is frequently associated with severe pain, persistent inflammation, and fibrosis within the …

Chronic Pelvic Pain in Medical Education: A Needs Assessment of British Columbian Health Care Providers-in-Training.

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects ∼15% of women and gender-diverse people, yet it is often dismissed by healthcare providers partly due to lack of related medical education. This brief communication …

The AGE-RAGE Pathway in Endometriosis: A Focused Mechanistic Review and Structured Evidence Map.

High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) and S100 proteins are major ligands of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) and have causal roles in endometriosis lesions. Yet the AGE-RAGE pathway …

Oral diclofenac potassium and intramuscular hyoscine-n-butyl bromide versus oral diclofenac potassium alone for pain relief during hysterosalpingography: a double blind randomized controlled trial.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an important diagnostic tool in infertility, often associated with pain and tubal spasms, potentially resulting in false proximal tubal occlusions. This randomised controlled trial compared oral diclofenac …

Natural products modulate programmed cell death signaling mechanism for treating endometriosis: a review.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological inflammatory disease that depends on estrogen. Its chief symptoms include dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, reduced fertility, and pelvic masses. Although various hormonal therapies and surgical …

Repurposing ramipril to mitigate EMT-like transition in endometriosis by PI3K/AKT/S6K1 signalling pathway: a study in endometriosis induced rats.

Endometriosis, an atypical benign disorder, may disrupt epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) due to a dysregulated balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors. Ramipril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is …

Transvaginal ultrasound for deep endometriosis: Prospective validation of SRU criteria and diagnostic value of indirect signs.

The SRU consensus on pelvic ultrasound proposed standardized augmented ultrasound, but its validity and indirect signs' role require validation. This study will explore the application value of this consensus in …
