Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, oestrogen-dependent disease with major impacts on pain, fertility and quality of life. This Society of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders and American Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery opinion s…

Endometriosis, traditionally viewed as a gynecological condition, is increasingly recognized as a systemic disease due to its frequent association with inflammatory and autoimmune comorbidities. Recent molecular and genetic insights reveal …

Endometriosis is a frequent chronic estrogen-dependent condition that can significantly impair fertility and reduce the quality of life in affected individuals. Women with endometriosis face a 30-50% risk of infertility. Multifactorial fact…

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of polypoid ovarian endometrioma mimicking malignant transformation, review the literature on this rare entity, and highlight its implications for surgical management and fertility preservation. DESIGN: Case rep…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic disease of gynaecological origin that affects approximately 10% of women worldwide and has a significant impact on patients’ lives. Women with endometriosis attempting to conceive may experience infertili…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic and estrogen-dependent disorder that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Endometriosis has been associated with chronic inflammation and an atherogenic lipid profile, two condit…

Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, and neuroinflammatory condition that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite its high prevalence, major gaps remain in diagnosis, understanding of disease progression, and recurr…

BACKGROUND: Relugolix, an oral GnRH receptor antagonist, is effective in treating uterine myomas and endometriosis. However, concerns persist regarding the venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk associated with its combination with oral estradio…

Adenomyosis, a menstruation-related uterine disorder, refers to the presence of endometrial stroma and glands within the myometrium and is typically observed in reproductive-age women. The pathogenesis explaining the migration, persistence,…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in women with endometriosis undergoing ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) or fertility preservation (…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of women with superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP) diagnosed by surgery and not confirmed by histology, compared with histologically proven SUP. DESIGN…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the incidence of endometrioma infections requiring surgical drainage following oocyte retrieval in women with ovarian endometrioma? DESIGN: This retrospective observational cohort study included women aged 18-43 …

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and a significant reduction in qua…

Abstract Study question How does adenomyosis affect live birth rates (LBR) in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) compared to a matched control population? Summary answer Women with adenomyosis, matched with controls for…

STUDY QUESTION: How does adenomyosis affect live birth rates (LBRs) in women undergoing ART compared to a matched control population? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with adenomyosis, matched with controls for age, blastocyst count, and top-quality …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis appears to have a multilayered etiology, with genetic and epigenetic factors each contributing half of the pathogenesis. The molecular processes that underlie the onset of endometriosis are yet unclear, but it is a…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic disease of reproductive-age women, causing menstrual pain and infertility. Endocrine and inflammatory mechanisms drive its development, with estrogen/progesterone imbalance contributing to extrauterine…

This group was formed out of the conviction that endometriosis research has not progressed at a pace in proportion to disease severity and the negative impact on women's quality of life. Furthermore, advancement in our understanding of this…
