What is the optimal timing of progesterone exposure to achieve live births for day-6 blastocysts in artificial frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles?
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) exert opposing effects on systemic sex hormone exposure. Although HRT is frequently prescribed following BSO to mitigate surgical menopause, their combined impact …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, yet diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms are non-specific and definitive confirmation typically relies on invasive procedures. Composite indices …
This study aims to investigate the effect of endometriosis (EMs) on fertility and to assess the causal relationship between EMs and fertility using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). We conducted an …
Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferroptosis is …
Letrozole and other aromatase inhibitors are increasingly recognized as first-line ovulation induction (OI) medications, offering an efficient and physiologic approach to ovarian stimulation that enhances outcomes in reproductive medicine. By …
Female reproductive disorders influence women's physical and mental well-being, and the sustainability of the family. However, it is unclear whether lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviors and physical activity, could impact …
Environmental exposures are increasingly linked to reproductive dysfunctions such as endometriosis, ovarian insufficiency, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, and epigenetic pathways, heavy metals (such as …
Women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience distinct physiologic and clinical challenges across their lifespan. In childhood and adolescence, early exposure to corticosteroids, chronic inflammation, and malnutrition may impair pubertal …
This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells …
