Primary dysmenorrhea is painful menstruation in the absence of pelvic pathology, whereas secondary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain attributable to an underlying pelvic disease (e.g., endometriosis). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAI…

BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis between uterine fibroid and adenomyosis is sometimes difficult; a precise diagnosis is required in women with infertility because of the different choice of treatments. Ultrasound elastography (UE) is …

This work provides consensus guidance regarding clinical diagnosis and early medical management of endometriosis within Asia. Clinicians with expertise in endometriosis critically evaluated available evidence on clinical diagnosis and early…

Background: Dysregulation of the immune response contribute to a significant role in endometriosis. This research examined macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells numbers in endometriotic lesions and their association with the different l…

This consensus statement has been developed by the Thai Interest Group for Endometriosis (TIGE) for use by Thai clinicians in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. TIGE is a group of clinical and academic gynaecologists with a part…

Immune dysregulation can involve invasion and survival of endometrial glands inside the myometrium of the adenomyosis. There is limited available data concerning alterations of the bacterial microbiome in the reproductive tract of adenomyos…

BACKGROUND: Dysregulation of immune response is associated with development of endometriosis. The study aim was to evaluate effect of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCs) consisting of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and desogestrel on the expre…

Objective: Since endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease; therefore, combined oral contraceptives (COCs) may not be the best choice for the treatment of endometriosis. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects…

BACKGROUND: Strategies to preserve ovarian function after ovarian endometriotic cyst removal have been reported in many studies; however, no study has evaluated tranexamic acid administration during surgery. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate feasibili…

Background . Autophagy is likely altered in patients with endometriosis. Ovarian steroid hormones seem to affect this changing of the autophagic process. Objective . To study the effect of combined oral contraceptive (COC) pills on the expr…

Introduction: Both autophagy and apoptosis play a role in the cyclic remodeling of the endometrium. The abnormal regulation of genes and signaling pathways in the eutopic endometrium plays a role in the abnormal migration and implantation i…

The effects of oral vitamin D supplements on vaginal health in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) was evaluated. A double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted for 12 weeks to investigate changes on va…

The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of gastrointestinal injuries during gynaecologic operations, the management of such injuries and associated risk factors. This case-control study (1:4) examined patients who recei…

BACKGROUND: Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is an injectable progestin contraceptive that provides a highly effective reduction of pelvic pain in women with endometriosis. Despite its wide use to treat pain associated with endometri…

Objective : To analyze the relaxant effect of Curcuma comosa (Wan chak motluk) and explore its mechanism and its major compound, diarylheptanoid, on human myometrium with adenomyosis. Materials and Methods : An in vitro experimental study w…

BACKGROUND: Progestin has been used for symptomatic treatment of adenomyosis, although its effect on the immune system has not been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of macrophage and natural killer (NK) cell inf…

Simvastatin is a promising new drug for the treatment of endometriosis. It is a cholesterol-lowering drug that acts by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, resulting in a decrease in mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol and monocyte chemoattract…

Background: Although Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), an injectable contraceptive progestin, is very effective for pain relief and prevention of recurrence in women with endometriosis, there is no report on the mechanism of this med…

AIM: To determine whether minimal stimulation with clomiphene and gonadotropin provides outcomes and direct costs comparable with those of a conventional GnRHa-gonadotropin stimulation protocol for infertile patients undergoing in vitro fer…
