BACKGROUND: Ovarian and endometrial cancers together account for nearly 10% of all female cancer-related deaths worldwide, with ovarian cancer being the deadliest gynecologic malignancy. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ge…

Fisetin, a flavonoid widely present in natural plants, exhibits diverse pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-aging effects. Its protective roles within the mammalian reproductive syst…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SEPT9 on proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in endometriotic stromal cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and western blotting…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis, which affects > 20% of reproductive-age women, is a major cause of infertility. Defective decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) is a key pathogenic feature of adenomyosis; however, the underlying red…

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder and a major cause of female infertility. While epigenetic dysregulation, notably DNA methylation, has been recognized as a key driver of PCOS pathogenesis, the specific involv…

Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides a comprehensive…

BACKGROUND: To explore the initial clinical feasibility and preliminary surgical safety of transvaginal four-wall directional in-bag morcellation for extracting exceedingly large uteri during laparoscopic total hysterectomy (TLH), aiming to…

Infertility remains a global challenge, with female factors accounting for the majority of cases. Endometrial receptivity (ER), the ability of the endometrium to accept and support embryo implantation, is a critical determinant of successfu…

Ovarian cancer, as a common gynecological malignancy, is often found at an advanced stage clinically. Thus, improving the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is crucial for the survival rate of patients. Ultrasound examination is the main met…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor surface electromyography (sEMG) is widely used to evaluate and treat pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFDs). Based on sEMG, the Glazer protocol was developed over 20 years ago with a limited sample size, making it challen…

BACKGROUND: vNOTES has been documented as a viable approach for conducting benign gynecologic surgery; however, its application in ectopic pregnancy cases remains relatively scarce. The principal objective of this investigation was to asses…

To investigate the risk factors influencing very early preterm and early preterm births in twin pregnancies after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This retrospective study analyzed 2042 twin pregnanc…

BACKGROUND: Infertility poses a substantial societal and economic burden; however, current preventive strategies are limited. Recently, the relationship between gut microbiota and infertility has garnered increasing attention. The dietary i…

BACKGROUND: This case-control study aimed to examine the association between the frequency of potentially risky beverage consumption, levels of anxiety, and the prevalence of endometrial polyps. METHODS: A total of 418 participants were en…

Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease, which is related to infertility. Decidualization is a prerequisite for successful implantation of human embryos, and endometriosis affects the occurrence of decidualization. However, the mecha…

Endometriomas, commonly known as ovarian chocolate cysts, are a prevalent condition in women of reproductive age. They are cysts formed by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue within the ovary, often leading to dysmenorrhea and infertil…

Endometriosis is a complex, chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder with estrogen‑dependent characteristics that severely impairs the quality of life of women and potentially leads to infertility. However, its pathogenesis remains poorl…

BACKGROUND: Limited information is available on malpractice claims against obstetricians and gynecologists in China. This study identifies risk factors associated with malpractice and explores the correlation between the hospital characteri…

BACKGROUND: Myofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) is a common but often underdiagnosed cause of chronic pelvic pain in women, significantly affecting quality of life. Early and accurate identification of patients at risk is essential for i…

PURPOSE: To conduct a comparative metabolomic analysis of follicular fluid (FF) from patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles under GnRH agonist versus antagonist protocols, aiming to identify protocol-specific metabolic sign…

BACKGROUND: Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) can relieve dysmenorrhea, but utilization is low in Chinese women. This systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the design of clinical studies and the effectiveness and safety …

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does frozen embryo transfer improve pregnancy outcomes compared with fresh embryo transfer in women with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) undergoing their first IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle? DESIGN: A retrospect…

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of intraoperative low-dose esketamine administered at anesthesia induction on postoperative quality of recovery in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One-hundred six female patients sc…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Primary dysmenorrhea carries substantial medical, social, and economic burdens, leading many patients to seek low-risk complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture. Myofascial trigger point dry need…
