The reproductive microbiome plays a key role in disease progression and fertility in women with endometriosis. Vaginal and endometrial dysbiosis has been increasingly linked to inflammation, impaired reproductive outcomes, and …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis affects ~10% of women, causing chronic pain, reduced quality of life, and, often, infertility. As endometriosis literacy and awareness are low in society and among health care providers …
The uterine cavity was formerly considered sterile; however, over recent years, researchers have identified the presence of endometrial microbiota. An imbalance in the endometrial microbiota, or dysbiosis, has been shown …
Objective: The objective was to investigate the association between anogenital distance (AGD) and adenomyosis in reproductive-age women and to evaluate the potential of AGD as a non-invasive biomarker reflecting prenatal …
Gynecologic disorders, including infections, sterile inflammatory diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and malignancies, share a common signature of dysregulated immunity within a uniquely hormone-responsive reproductive tract. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are increasingly …
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory gynecological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, with an unclear etiology and limited treatment efficacy. Recent studies implicate the oral and gut …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that is increasingly recognized as a systemic condition with profound implications for female reproductive potential. In addition to pelvic distortion and impaired folliculogenesis, …
Although endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is considered a separate clinical entity, no specific prognostic biomarkers aid in its management. This has, therefore, been among the factors hindering the development of …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is an aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer that is resistant to conventional chemotherapy, resulting in poor prognosis. CCC develops from endometriosis, which exposes tumor cells …
The reproductive tract microbiome plays a pivotal role in female fertility, with Lactobacillus-dominated communities maintaining a protective, low-pH environment. Dysbiosis-characterized by a reduction in Lactobacillus species and overgrowth of anaerobes-is …
