We report a unique case of bilateral ovarian endometrioma in a young woman with suspected torsion. To the best of our knowledge, no previous cases of unilateral torsion with contralateral …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …
Ovarian germ cell tumours are uncommon, with choriocarcinoma being the rarest of them. Among choriocarcinomas, the non-gestational type occurs mainly in premenarchal women, although cases have been described in postmenopausal …
The reproductive tract microbiome plays a pivotal role in female fertility, with Lactobacillus-dominated communities maintaining a protective, low-pH environment. Dysbiosis-characterized by a reduction in Lactobacillus species and overgrowth of anaerobes-is …
Endometriosis is an inflammatory estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by pain, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. This is due to the invasion of different organs by endometrial tissue that causes inflammation, angiogenesis, and …
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 …
Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …
Female infertility is a multifactorial condition with complex biological and clinical underpinnings. Biologically, female-related infertility may stem from disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, impaired folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation defects, uterine …
Tea, among the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, is rich in polyphenolic compounds known as catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This review aims to synthesize recent findings and ongoing controversies …
To explore the genetic associations between 91 types of blood cells (BCs) and endometriosis (EMs), providing references for the treatment of EMs. Forward Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted with …
