Low-FODMAP Diet for Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Endometriosis: A Systematic Review.

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 …

A case of a patient with a utero-subcutaneous fistula and abdominal wall endometriosis after myomectomy - diagnosis and treatment of an extremely rare complication.

The evaluation of pharmacotherapy in endometriosis: changes, challenges and difficulties.

Endometriosis presents a multitude of challenges for individuals. Current treatment of the disease is based on pharmacotherapy that aims to relieve pain, improves future fertility, potentially slows disease progression and …

Medically Assisted Reproduction and Hormone-Related Cancers.

It is critical that women undertaking medically assisted reproductive (MAR) treatment and their clinicians know whether the treatments are associated with an increased risk of hormone-related cancers.

Orchestrating the gut microbiota-mitochondrial-immune axis in gynecological diseases: mechanisms and dual-targeting therapeutic strategies.

The "gut microbiota-mitochondria axis" has become the core hub connecting the metabolism, immunity, and endocrine regulation of gynecological diseases. In this review, the hierarchical regulation mechanism of this axis is …

Recurrent Peritoneal Inclusion Cyst With Persistent Pelvic Pain Despite Radiologic Improvement: A Management Challenge.

Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions that most commonly occur in women with a history of prior abdominal surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. They arise from the …

Endometriosis as a chronic endothelial disorder: thromboinflammation, vascular reprogramming, and systemic cardiovascular risk.

Microvascular thromboinflammation is a pervasive yet under-recognized driver of multisystem morbidity that links focal endothelial injury to distal organ dysfunction through interacting cellular and plasmatic networks. Contemporary paradigms remain fragmented: …

Vitamin D3 promotes regression of endometrial implants comparable to buserelin in a rat model of endometriosis.

Buserelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, reduces gonadotropin and estrogen levels and is commonly used to alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis. Vitamin D3 has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic …

Effects of lactoferrin and progesterone on the endometriotic lesion in a female rat model.

Lactoferrin (LF), a multifunctional glycoprotein of the transferrin family, exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease commonly treated with progesterone therapy; however, progesterone receptor (PGR) …

Chemokine CCL21 promotes the pathological progression of endometriosis by regulating inflammatory cytokine expression and activating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, is widely recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation-related genes (IRGs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various …
