Deep infiltrating endometriosis predominantly affects the posterior pelvic compartment and often requires complex surgical procedures, which are associated with a significant risk of postoperative complications. Limited evidence is available regarding …
Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly …
Progestins are widely used for endometriosis with proven efficacy and favorable safety. Their microvascular effects, however, are not fully understood. We report a 35-year-old woman who developed recurrent hand erythema …
Endometriosis is a common, chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, frequently associated with significant morbidities such as pelvic pain and infertility. Elucidating …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with reduced oocyte quality and subfertility, yet the underlying cytoplasmic defects remain poorly understood.
There is currently no consensus on the etiology, pathogenesis, or treatment of endometriosis (EM). The discovery of disease-associated plasma proteins with causal genetic evidence provides an opportunity to identify new …
Endometriosis is a chronic condition associated with substantial healthcare costs, diagnostic delays and long-term impairment in quality of life. Despite the recognized economic burden, patient-reported financial distress remains insufficiently studied. …
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 is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the cellular basis for this relationship remains unclear. We examined whether peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis alters cardiomyocyte …
Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
