Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that causes debilitating pain and significantly impairs quality of life. Due to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, vitamin D has been proposed as …
The causal role of established risk factors for premenstrual disorders (PMDs) remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causality for eight known-risk factors identified through a literature review. …
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition characterized by histologically benign smooth muscle tumours arising at extrauterine sites, most commonly the lungs, in women with a history of uterine …
This paper aims to analyse selected online narratives of women with endometriosis who leverage the affordances of these platforms to share their lived experiences. Through discourse analysis, this study critically …
Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is a rare condition classically associated with platinum-based chemotherapy for malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. However, post-treatment findings following ovarian immature teratoma may represent a broader …
This study aimed to systematically assess the genetic comorbidity of endometriosis (EM) and its subtypes with menstrual-cycle-related traits, and to identify shared genetic mechanisms and key regulatory pathways underlying their …
The survival of ectopic endometrial lesions in endometriosis critically depends on their ability to evade immune recognition and clearance by the host, a process known as immune evasion. Recent studies …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects around 10% of women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with infertility. Despite its high prevalence in assisted reproductive technology (ART) …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite significant advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the clinical management of endometriosis remains …
Accumulating observational evidence suggests an association between thyroid function and endometriosis, though the causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate potential bidirectional causal relationships, including for endometriosis subtypes, we conducted a …
