Menopause remains a largely neglected aspect of women's health in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Despite the profound physical, cognitive, and …
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 …
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 …
Symptoms of endometriosis are often incompletely managed and recurrent surgeries are commonplace. The impact of re-operation on fertility remains unclear. This systematic review compares fertility outcomes in patients who underwent …
