Can transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) reliably detect and quantify free pelvic fluid (FPF) as a surrogate marker of retrograde menstruation, and how do its volume and characteristics vary across menstrual phases, …
Endometriosis is a prevalent estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition that affects millions of women of reproductive age worldwide. It is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, …
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 …
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 …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder marked by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, often resulting in pain and infertility and affecting overall quality of life. Despite its …
People living with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows elsewhere in the body, often experience prolonged diagnostic journeys because of symptom variability, …
