Background: Emerging evidence suggests that lipedema may share hormonal, inflammatory, and genetic mechanisms with gynecologic diseases, particularly endometriosis. However, the extent and nature of these interrelationships remain poorly characterized, supporting …
Cesarean delivery, one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide, carries the risk of complications. These complications affect both mothers and newborns, but in this review, only maternal complications will …
Pharmacogenetics is an emerging discipline that explores how genetic variants affect drug response, potentially leading to side effects or treatment failure. Although widely applied in other medical specialties, its use …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
What was done? A review of artificial intelligence (AI) applications for the imaging of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and adenomyosis. What was found? AI models can assist with the recognition, segmentation, …
Inflammatory resolution is essential for tissue health, yet its dynamics remain difficult to study in humans. Menstruation is a recurrent, non-pathological inflammatory process that provides a natural window into inflammation …
Uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are non-cancerous smooth muscle proliferations of the uterus, occurring mostly in women of reproductive age. Their pathogenesis involves complex growth factor interactions that regulate cellular proliferation, …
(Abstracted from Contraception 2025:150:111016, doi:10.1016/j.contraception.2025.111016) Adenomyosis occurs when ectopic endometrial glands invade the myometrium and can cause symptoms such as an enlarged uterus, heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, and …
The likelihood of a successful pregnancy is influenced by a set of variables that influence endometrial receptivity, including hormonal, genetic, metabolic, age, lifestyle, and immunological factors. Among these, the endometrial …
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Although it most commonly affects pelvic organs, bowel involvement is uncommon, and …
