Danazol is a synthetic steroid approved in 1976 for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. Despite its established efficacy, its clinical use has markedly declined due to androgenic and metabolic adverse …
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the evaluation of suspected gynecologic malignancies, providing high soft tissue contrast and multiparametric capabilities, including diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast …
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) encompasses a heterogeneous group of debilitating conditions including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), chronic abacterial prostatitis, endometriosis, and pelvic congestion syndrome, among others. Despite advances …
Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic gynecological disorder that affects 190 million women worldwide. Current treatments consist of hormonal suppression and surgical excision; however, both have considerable side effects and a …
Gynecological conditions including endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome and malignancies cause widespread chronic morbidity and infertility, yet translating genetic discoveries into biological mechanisms remains challenging. We propose a framework integrating …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, with a diagnostic delay of 7-10 years. Despite clinical heterogeneity, current rASRM staging poorly predicts treatment outcomes. Molecular subtyping may reveal biologically meaningful …
The double-stapled anastomosis technique is widely considered the standard approach for colorectal anastomosis after anterior rectal resection. Recently, the single-stapled anastomosis technique has gained attention because it may reduce potential …
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as loss of ovarian function before the age of 40 years. It has a profound impact on patients' quality of life, particularly due to …
Endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are chronic pain disorders that frequently coexist and share key pathophysiological features, including neuroinflammation, visceral hypersensitivity, peripheral sensitization, and central sensitization. Emerging evidence suggests …
Endometriosis was once thought to affect only reproductive-aged women. However, 2-5% of postmenopausal individuals remain affected. Guidance for this group is limited. This review outlines an updated approach to postmenopausal …
