Endometriosis-associated pelvic pain represents a prototypical failure of systemic therapy for a locally organized, neuroinflammatory disease. Persistent pain arises from the convergence of estrogen-driven lesion survival, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and …
Endometriosis (EMS) remains understudied in effective management strategies. The interplay between macrophage dysfunction and microbiota-derived immune signals emerges as a potential mechanism in EMS pathogenesis, suggesting its relevance for future …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that causes substantial pain and infertility. Observational studies have reported higher rates of multiple psychiatric disorders among individuals with endometriosis; however, confounding and …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a highly heterogeneous chronic gynecological disease characterized by pain, infertility, and relapse, with its etiology and pathogenesis not yet fully elucidated. Traditional theories, including "retrograde menstruation," "implantation …
Endometriosis is a complex disorder associated with dysregulated immune, hormonal, and microenvironmental signaling. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of intercellular communication and may contribute to disease pathogenesis, biomarker discovery, …
Chronic visceral pain affects over 20% of adults globally but remains poorly understood, significantly impacting quality of life and healthcare costs. Limited understanding and diagnostic misconceptions hinder effective management, particularly …
Background: Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a localized gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue. However, high recurrence rates following apparently complete surgical excision challenge this lesion-based …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a highly fibrotic and deeply invasive subtype of endometriosis that causes severe pelvic pain, infertility and marked impairment of quality of life. Metabolic, microbial and …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease presenting with debilitating symptoms strongly impacting patients' quality of life (QoL). Assessing QoL is crucial for understanding the full patient experience beyond clinical symptoms. …
Fertility preservation refers to the cryopreservation of gametes, embryos, or gonadal tissue before age, disease, or medical treatment affects reproductive capacity. Fertility preservation techniques were originally developed for cancer patients. …
