Ovarian function relies on a network of well-coordinated molecular mechanisms that regulate follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and corpus luteum function. When these processes are disrupted, infertility can result. Extracellular …
Endometriosis affects 6%-10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and impaired quality of life. The endometriosis fertility index (EFI) predicts spontaneous pregnancy postoperatively, …
Transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval is required for assisted reproductive technology. This is a short and minimally invasive, but painful procedure. There are no clinical guidelines on optimal pain management. We …
Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-responsive disorder linked to infertility, usually characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the pelvis that disrupts local homeostasis. Advances in single-cell "omic" methods have …
Progesterone plays a pivotal role in implantation and ongoing pregnancy. In the context of assisted reproductive technology (ART), and in particular frozen embryo transfer (FET), increasing evidence suggests that serum …
The present review aims to ascertain whether reproductive disorders are associated with specific physical, mental, personality, and social traits. This information may be used to support or reject the hypothesis …
Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates the systemic and …

Reproductive surgery is commonly performed to diagnose and treat anatomic abnormalities of the pelvis and alleviate symptoms of gynecologic conditions associated with infertility. The decision to pursue surgery in a …
To describe reproductive outcomes and clinical safety considerations associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART) in women with a history of surgically treated catamenial pneumothorax (thoracic endometriosis syndrome).
