Background: The individual and social burden of endometriosis is high, and the diagnosis is usually delayed by 7-10 years. Menstrual effluent (ME) represents an accessible and uniquely informative biofluid. This …
Female reproductive disorders represent a major global health challenge. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, these conditions share core pathological mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix …
Background/Objectives: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is defined as pelvic pain lasting longer than six months and is a common yet often overlooked condition, affecting over 40% of women worldwide and …
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer comprises a special group of ovarian cancers that most probably originate from endometriosis foci. Several in vitro studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role …
The modified cardiometabolic index (MCMI), an integrated measure of visceral fat and lipid metabolism, has been widely applied in metabolic disease research. However, its relationship with endometriosis has not been …
We explore bladder sensitivity profiles in females with chronic pelvic pain, using a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm. We aim to determine how profiles differ between groups defined by symptoms; groups …
Pain is the primary symptom of endometriosis and may progress into a chronic, acyclic condition driven by neuroinflammatory mechanisms, leading to neuropathic and ultimately nociplastic pain. Central sensitization, a form …
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are key elements of assessing the efficacy of perioperative pain management. Here, we aimed to capture the association of 10 individually reported aspects of patient's specific …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue growth and is strongly associated with oxidative stress; however, systemic biomarkers reflecting this stress response remain limited. Advanced …
Objective: The objective was to investigate the association between anogenital distance (AGD) and adenomyosis in reproductive-age women and to evaluate the potential of AGD as a non-invasive biomarker reflecting prenatal …
