Endometriosis is a disease characterized by fibrosis and adhesions. There are still no treatment methods targeting these conditions. One reason for this is the lack of useful animal models to investigate the mechanisms of fibrosis and adhes…

AimDiffuse uterine leiomyomatosis (DUL) is characterized by numerous uterine leiomyomas within and diffusely replacing the myometrium. However, because of its rarity, the prevalence, diagnostic criteria, and standard treatment for patients …

PURPOSE: To test the theory that invaginated ovarian surface epithelium and endometrial implants on the ovary form ovarian endometriomas. METHODS: Adhesion sites of ovarian endometrioma on the peritoneum and consecutive ovarian endometriom…

BackgroundBlood flow in the corpus luteum (CL) is closely related to luteal function. It is unclear how luteal blood flow is regulated. Standardized ovarian-stimulation protocol with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa long prot…
