RESEARCH QUESTION: Does adenomyosis increase the risk of thromboembolic events, including both arterial and venous thromboembolism, compared with endometriosis, and what clinical factors may contribute to this association? DESIGN: This retr…

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the risk of perinatal complications in subsequent pregnancies after different types of myomectomy, viz. open, laparoscopic, or hysteroscopic. Moreover, we investigated whether the time interval from myomecto…

Adenomyosis is an intractable gynecological disorder that can give rise to severe pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility, predominantly affecting women of reproductive age. The limited efficacy of current pharmacological int…

Purpose: This study evaluated whether embryo cryopreservation before surgery (ECBS) improves clinical outcomes in in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients with endometrioma. Methods: This retrospective study included patients aged 28-42 years …

Adenomyosis often causes dysmenorrhea in women of reproductive age. Progestins such as levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) are often used for treatment, but some patients experience progesterone resistance, showing poor treatment r…

Uterine adenomyosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and obstetric complications. Rarely, adenomyosis can lead to abscess formation, which is refractory to an…

The follicular microenvironment is crucial for normal ovarian function, and intra-ovarian factors, in coordination with gonadotropins, contribute to its regulation. Recent research has revealed that the accumulation of senescent cells worse…

It is unclear whether clinical background differs between endometriosis in adolescent patients with obstructive Müllerian anomalies and those without anomalies. The aim of the study is to identify the difference in clinical characteristics …

Abstract Ulipristal (UPA), a selective progesterone receptor modulator, has both agonistic and antagonistic effects on progesterone receptors. UPA suppresses ovulation by inhibiting the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge from the pituitary glan…

Abstract Background Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease in women of reproductive age and causes various symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding. However, the influence of pregnancy on the progression of adenomyo…

Abstract Background Previous studies have shown the ovarian carcinoma after laparscopic cystectomy of endometrioma arises through the recurrence of endometrioma. Then it can be assumed that reduction of ovarian endometrioma recurrence throu…

Objective To evaluate the phosphorylation of estrogen receptor α at serine-118 (phospho-ERα S118) in the endometrium, ovarian endometrioma, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Design Experimental study. Setting University-affiliated …

The purpose of this study was to establish a novel mouse model of adenomyosis suitable for longitudinal and quantitative analyses and perinatal outcome studies. Using a 30 G needle, the entire uterine wall of one horn was mechanically punct…

Aim: Endometriosis is linked to asymptomatic atherosclerosis and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Vascular function tests are used to assess atherosclerosis, an important indicator of CVD development. In this study, we ai…

The purpose of this study was to establish a new mouse model of endometriosis that mimics real-world women's health problems, in which women continue to be affected by endometriosis long before they wish to become pregnant, and to evaluate …

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the course of long-term conservative management of bladder endometriosis (BE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 17 cases of BE conservatively managed without surgery in our facilit…

Dienogest (DNG) is widely used to treat dysmenorrhea associated with estrogen-dependent diseases such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. DNG becomes unnecessary after menopause when estrogen secretion declines drastically. However, there are…

Objective: Long-term administration of dienogest, which is known to have effect on bone mineral density, is frequently done in patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis, but a few studies focused on the bone mineral density changes after …

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the systemic and local proportions, focal localization, and characteristics of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) in endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Peripheral blood and pe…
