Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Retrograde menstruation is widely accepted as a primary mechanism for ectopic endometrial seeding; however, only …
To compare surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment on reproductive outcomes among women with rectosigmoid endometriosis.
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disease with a complex and incompletely understood etiology. Environmental exposure to toxic elements, including cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic, may contribute to its development …
Background and Objectives: Superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) remains one of the most difficult endometriosis phenotypes to diagnose non-invasively, because lesions are frequently small, multifocal, and poorly detectable using conventional imaging. …
and Hypothesis: Endometriosis often causes pelvic pain, limiting movement and physical function. Performance-based tests are fundamental to measure functional status among these women. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability …
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease that affects approximately 6-10% of women of reproductive age. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of 48 immune-related genes in different …
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive therapeutic option for adenomyosis (AM). However, its clinical effectiveness in patients with comorbid gynecologic disorders remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate …
Cardiothoracic involvement by obstetric and gynecologic pathologic conditions creates a broad spectrum of clinical and radiologic manifestations, ranging from mild to critical. The authors describe the unique and often unrecognized …
To investigate, using transvaginal ultrasound imaging, the overlap between polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) and endometriosis, and to explore demographic and clinical factors associated with their coexistence across endometriosis phenotypes.
Accurate and standardised characterisation of endometriosis extent is essential for patient counselling regarding pain and fertility outcomes, surgical planning, multidisciplinary communication, and clinical research. The Enzian classification has been applied …
