Postoperative pain following laparoscopic surgery can delay recovery and increase opioid use. Lower insufflation pressures have been consistently shown to reduce pain in general surgery procedures, but their impact in …
A growing body of literature has revealed that patients with endometriosis are at an increased risk for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Endometriosis is a heterogeneous disease …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pain and immune dysregulation. Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids and fish-derived bioactive lipids may modulate inflammation and metabolism. This study investigated …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue, progressive fibrosis and chronic pain, with a pathogenesis that goes beyond oestrogen dependence. The central question this review seeks …
The human microbiome, a dynamic endocrine organ, exerts profound systemic influence through the production of bioactive metabolites. While the microbiome-gut-brain axis is well-established, the direct conduit between the gut microbiota …
Bowel involvement is a severe manifestation of deep endometriosis that affects approximately 8-12% of women with endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is most commonly localised in the rectosigmoid colon and frequently coexists …
Endometriosis is sustained by ectopic endometrial implants that remain proliferative and vascularized, making endocrine modulation a cornerstone of therapy. Estetrol (E4) an endogenous estrogen produced during pregnancy, with selective tissue …
Postoperative recurrence remains a major obstacle to durable remission in patients with solid tumors, even after complete macroscopic resection. Growing evidence suggests that surgery creates a transient yet highly permissive …
Background/Objectives: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, altered stool pattern, dyschezia, and nausea, are frequent in women with endometriosis and may persist despite conventional gynecological treatment. The low fermentable …
Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about whether reported …
