Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue, progressive fibrosis and chronic pain, with a pathogenesis that goes beyond oestrogen dependence. The central question this review seeks …
Endometriosis rarely affects the abdominal wall and typically occurs following surgery, like uterine procedures or, more commonly, cesarean sections. There have been a few instances of endometriosis evolving into malignant …
Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about whether reported …
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. …
It is critical that women undertaking medically assisted reproductive (MAR) treatment and their clinicians know whether the treatments are associated with an increased risk of hormone-related cancers.
Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions that most commonly occur in women with a history of prior abdominal surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. They arise from the …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
Tokishakuyakusan (TSS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. This study examined the effects of TSS on fecundity and endometriosis-like lesions during pregnancy in …
A growing body of evidence suggests that women with endometriosis and adenomyosis are at an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Many of these complications are associated with …
