Endometriosis affects a substantial proportion of women of reproductive age and is a common, often under-recognised contributor to subfertility. Its effects on fertility are multifactorial, and both the disease and …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
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 …
Tubo-ovarian abscess is a rare but serious complication of assisted reproductive technologies, typically following oocyte retrieval. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with endometriosis who developed a tubo-ovarian …
White adipose tissue is now recognized as an active endocrine organ that secretes numerous bioactive molecules known as adipokines. These proteins regulate essential physiological processes, including energy metabolism, inflammation, and …
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 …
Background: Endometriosis affects 10-15% of reproductive-aged women and is a leading cause of infertility through anatomical, inflammatory, and molecular mechanisms. Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathophysiology of …
After manufacturing changes, the safety and tolerability of the progesterone vaginal ring (PVR) was compared to findings from the similarly designed phase 3 trial. This prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-center U.S. …
Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, causing severe pelvic pain, organ dysfunction, infertility, and mental health issues. Ovarian reserve, indicating the quantity and quality of a woman's oocytes, is negatively …
