Deep endometriosis (DE) may be associated with chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, psychological distress, and impaired quality of life, though relationships remain poorly characterized. We investigated associations …
Female fertility has long been explained through observation of the ovarian follicle: the number of residing follicles and the quality of the oocyte. This review argues that the tissue surrounding …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial-like glands and stroma, persistent pelvic inflammation, pain, infertility, and frequent recurrence. The limited availability of nonhormonal and lesion-directed therapies …
Endometriosis is associated with oxidative stress and heavy metal accumulation. This study evaluated whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduces serum heavy metals and improves lipid profiles in women with endometriosis undergoing fertility …
To examine Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPC) prevalence in Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (UCPPS) patients and assess the independent contributions of specific COPCs and pairwise COPC combinations to severity …
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of bromelain on serum endocannabinoid levels and oxidative stress markers in a rat model of surgically induced endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that, despite its benign histology, displays several cancer-relevant features, including clonal expansion, somatic alteration-associated lesion evolution, tissue invasion, apoptosis resistance, immune evasion, angiogenesis, …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age individuals, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Current treatments are based primarily on …
Excessive activation of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis (EMs), which is characterized by ectopic lesion growth and chronic pelvic pain. However, …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) frequently arises in association with endometriosis and is characterized by iron-rich oxidative stress, hypoxia-responsive metabolic reprogramming, glycogen accumulation, and alterations in ferroptosis-regulatory pathways. Interactions among …
