Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition linked to pelvic pain and infertility, is characterized by immune dysfunction involving dysregulated apoptosis and cell proliferation. This case-control study included 87 infertile women undergoing …
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulate in reproductive tissues, yet most studies rely on serum measurements. It remains unclear whether serum concentrations adequately reflect levels in target tissues. We evaluated …
Background: This study was conducted to assess whether medical treatment with dienogest (DNG) is effective in women with symptomatic adenomyosis. Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included patients with symptomatic adenomyosis …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life, and is frequently associated with prolonged diagnostic delay and variable treatment response. Although advances …
Endometriosis affects a large number of women of reproductive age, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. It causes severe chronic pelvic pain, which is often misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, …
Background: Ovarian cystectomy is standard treatment for endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comprises retrospective comparative and …
Evidence increasingly shows small nerve fibre pathology in subsets of people with fibromyalgia through skin biopsy, corneal confocal microscopy, and microneurography. However, blood-based biomarkers of ongoing neuronal damage, particularly neurofilament …
Endometriosis remains an underdiagnosed gynecological condition due to the lack of validated non-invasive biomarkers. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum cancer antigen 125 …
Background: Endometriosis is a complex condition that impairs women's quality of life and reproductive potential. Its diagnosis remains significant challenge for clinicians. The aim of the study was to investigate …
This study evaluates the synergistic therapeutic effect of metformin (MET) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on endometriosis (EM) and investigates the involvement of the steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and mitogen-inducible …
