BACKGROUND: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common and debilitating condition in women with bleeding disorders (BD). The underlying hemostatic abnormalities in these patients often make standard treatments ineffective. Clinical manageme…
BACKGROUND: Menstrual function is sensitive to inflammatory, endocrine, and psychosocial stressors that may transiently disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Although menstrual disturbances have been reported during the coronavir…
BACKGROUND: The potentially risky effects of metabolites of phthalates (mPAEs) on inflammation and immune function have attracted much attention in recent years. However, direct studies on the relationship between these metabolites and the …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between preoperative pathologic characteristics and the risk of postoperative recurrence in endometriosis (EMs) patients, and to develop a clinical predictive model. METHODS: A retrospective analys…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the benefits of menstrual management in women undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), in whom heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) can be an underestimated bleeding complication. METHODS: This was a r…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition among middle‑aged and older women, and is associated with the irregular production and breakdown of the extracellular matrix. Mechanical forces serve a key role in preserving the equilibr…
To investigate the clinical application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) technology in evaluating blood flow perfusion changes in adenomyosis patients treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with leuprorel…
Objective: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) was an underestimated bleeding complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The study aims to investigate the benefits of menstrual management in women undergoing HSCT. Methods:…
Ovarian cancer mortality is on the rise in China. Surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy is the most extensively used treatment for tumour recovery. An excellent nutritional condition prior and throughout treatment serves to improve the …
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) has an estimated prevalence of 18-32% but is known to be under-reported due to poor recognition and estimation of menstrual blood loss (MBL). HMB can negatively impact quality of life, affecting social interac…
UNLABELLED: Unselected population-based personalised ovarian cancer (OC) risk assessment combining genetic/epidemiology/hormonal data has not previously been undertaken. We aimed to perform a feasibility study of OC risk stratification of g…
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), also known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, is the main regulator of the reproductive system, acting on gonadotropic cells by binding to the GnRH1 receptor (GnRH1R). The GnRH-GnRH1R system is…
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified >30 common SNPs associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We evaluated the combined effects of EOC susceptibility SNPs on predicting EOC risk in an independent prospective c…
BACKGROUND: There is no evidence of the practices of obstetricians and gynecologists (OB/GYNs) regarding contraceptive use and determinants influencing contraceptive choices, including emergency methods such as combined oral contraceptives …
Gastrointestinal (GI) epithelial ion transport is physiologically important in many aspects of humans, such as in maintaining fluid balance of whole body, and also plays a role in the development and progression of common GI disease. Estrog…
BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a major health concern that affects women. Surgeons have increasingly used prosthetic meshes to correct POP. However, the most common used is synthetic mesh, and absorbable mesh is less reported. T…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the 115T/C, 240A/G and 1531C/T polymorphisms of CYP19 gene are associated with the risk of moderate/severe endometriosis. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RF…
