BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis may alter the functional architecture of the inner myometrium and has been associated with impaired reproductive outcomes. Focal cystic adenomyotic lesions can persist despite hormonal suppression and may be challeng…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and repeated pregnancy loss remain major challenges in assisted reproductive technology, often without identifiable causes despite high-quality embryo transfers. Emerging evidence suggests th…
OBJECTIVE: To study the value of hysteroscopic cytoreductive surgery for adenomyotic lesions to improve reproductive outcomes. We describe a feasible and novel minimal invasive stepwise approach, which did not result in postoperative adhesi…
BACKGROUND: Sperm DNA fragmentation has been proposed as a candidate test for the assessment of sperm function on the premise that damage to the sperm chromatin is associated with a detrimental reproductive outcome. The objective of our stu…
A gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, leuprolide acetate, was administered every 4 weeks for treatment of rectovaginal endometriosis. Degrees of apoptosis (percentage of in situ deoxyribonucleic acid 3'-end-labeled cells) and cell proli…
