Early diagnosis of endometriosis is crucial, yet limited literature exists on factors influencing women's decisions to seek diagnosis. This study explores the role of symptoms, health beliefs, and social influences …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological illness associated with chronic pain, inflammation, and infertility, as ectopic endometrial lesions are formed. No fully effective treatment is available, and the pathogenesis of …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disease manifesting in three distinct phenotypes: superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometrioma (OMA), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). While Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified …
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been associated with disorders affecting female reproductive health, although the precise causal connections and underlying pathways between these substances and such disorders remain incompletely elucidated. …
A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding suggestive …
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is expressed on the plasma membrane of granulosa cells in the ovarian follicles. FSHR is involved in the development and maturation of Graafian follicles, along with …
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well-established etiological agent for cervical cancer, yet its contribution to endometrial malignancies remains underrecognized and mechanistically distinct. This paper synthesizes current evidence to explain the …
Background: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are complex, estrogen-dependent gynecological conditions increasingly diagnosed in adolescents. While traditionally considered diseases of reproductive-age women, emerging evidence suggests a possible developmental origin in some cases, …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-driven inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women globally. Despite increasing genomic insights into advanced-stage disease, the genetic underpinnings of early-stage endometriosis remain poorly understood, …
The menstrual cycle induces a wide range of physiological changes in the skin and its appendages, often overlooked in dermatologic practice. Catamenial dermatoses, influenced by hormonal fluctuations, present with cyclical …
