Non-hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) create an inflammatory uterine environment while oral contraceptives (OC) suppress ovulation and have different associations with ovarian cancer risk. We have evaluated the associations of these …
Endometriosis is a debilitating chronic inflammatory disorder driven by extensive molecular reprogramming. Despite significant bench research into its pathogenesis, translating these molecular discoveries into clinical practices that improve patient outcomes …
Oocyte formation occurs successfully within a meticulously controlled follicular environment characterized by well-documented endocrine, metabolic, and paracrine signals. Yet, the immunological landscape of the follicle and its role in influencing …
Endometriosis is a long-term gynecological condition marked by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, which undergoes proliferation, bleeding, and regeneration. This disease is associated with disrupted steroid hormone …
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, spironolactone, eplerenone, and finerenone, are cornerstone therapies in cardiovascular and renal diseases. While their efficacy is established, a systematic, head-to-head comparison of their post-marketing safety profiles based …
Patient embarrassment represents a significant yet often underrecognized barrier to effective gynecological care. This review integrates multidisciplinary evidence from Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library (2000-2025) to examine the …
The concept of ferroptosis debuted as a newly defined programmed cell death in 2012. Among programmed cell death mechanisms, ferroptosis stands out as being fundamentally dependent on iron. At the …
The follicular fluid (FF) microenvironment plays a critical role in oocyte maturation and embryo development, reflecting local ovarian activity and systemic metabolic status. While metabolic alterations in FF have been …
The female reproductive tract (FRT), particularly the vagina, has traditionally been regarded as a sterile environment. However, it is now recognized that the vagina is a complex, dynamic ecosystem dominated …
