Transmembrane protein TMEM119 has been implicated in tumor progression (e.g., ovarian cancer), but its role and underlying mechanism in ovarian endometriosis (EM) remain elusive. Thus, this study aimed to investigate …
Adiposity influences reproductive function via endocrine and immune pathways. The association between body mass index (BMI) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in endometriosis is uncertain, and BMI may not fully capture …
Brenner tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms that often coexist with other epithelial tumors, most commonly mucinous cystic neoplasms. The association of Brenner tumors with endometriosis is unusual and not well-documented …

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 …
This study aims to investigate the differences in response to dienogest (DNG) therapy among patients with 3 different phenotypes of endometriosis: ovarian endometrioma (OMA), superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), and deep …
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 …
Professional societies recommend opportunistic salpingectomy during vaginal hysterectomy to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, but it may be technically challenging without uterine prolapse. We examined national patterns, patient and …
Preserving ovarian reserve function during single-port laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is crucial for women of reproductive age. This study aimed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and impact on ovarian reserve of …
