BACKGROUND: Ureteral endometriosis with hydroureteronephrosis can impair renal function, yet few clear guidelines exist for its surgical treatment. This study aimed to compare the clinicopathological features between patients undergoing ure…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous ovarian endometrioma rupture typically presents with acute abdominal pain, a condition often complicated by tissue edema and pelvic adhesions that increase surgical difficulty. This study aims to evaluate the impact …

Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age, and the absence of reliable noninvasive diagnostic tools contributes to delayed diagnosis and disease progression. To identify potentia…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) often induce menopausal symptoms, negatively affecting women's psychological, emotional, and physical health. Kuntai capsule is widely used in clinical practic…

BACKGROUND: Cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCAC) and cervical endometrioid adenocarcinoma (CEAC) are rare and aggressive non-HPV-associated malignancies. Despite their histological similarities, these subtypes demonstrate distinct biol…

PURPOSE: To investigate the dynamic changes of serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) and Inhibin B (INHB) during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and analyze their correlation with C…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features of bladder endometriosis and factors associated with urinary symptoms, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term effects of symptom relief and recurrence. DESIGN: A single-center retrospective cohort…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to cross-culturally translate a questionnaire about gynecological and pelvic pain symptoms (ENDOPAIN-4D) patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) into Chinese and evaluate its reliability and validit…

OBJECTIVE: To summarize evidence on the efficacy and safety of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in managing adenomyosis (AM), both as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies. METHODS: We searched Med…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Are there correlations between the biological expression of steroid receptors and the extent of fibrosis in adenomyotic lesions, and the treatment effectiveness of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the distribution of nerve fibers in abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) and discern their association with pain. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. The cases comprised 30 patien…

PURPOSE: To summarize evidence on levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of adenomyosis (AM) and to identify potential research gaps. METHODS: Search was conducted in MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, …

Pericytes (PCs) are versatile cells integral to the microcirculation wall, exhibiting specific stem cell traits. They are essential in modulating blood flow, ensuring vascular permeability, maintaining homeostasis, and aiding tissue repair …

PURPOSE: We aimed to examine the clinical characteristics of patients with ovarian endometriosis (OMA) who were diagnosed with recurrent pain after laparoscopic surgery in an 8- to 12- year postoperative follow-up. METHODS: We retrospectiv…

BACKGROUND: The objective of our study was to investigate the risk factors for a decrease in ovarian reserve in patients with endometriomas after standardized laparoscopic procedures and evaluation to provide corresponding clinical guidance…

OBJECTIVE: The study intended to evaluate the risk factors of postoperative ileus in hysterectomy patients. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in accordan…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two similar gynecological diseases that are characterized by ectopic implantation and the growth of the endometrial tissue. Previous studies have reported that they share a common pathophysiology in some re…

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study is to investigate the proportion and clinical features of previous spontaneously ruptured ovarian endometrioma among women who underwent elective surgery for endometrioma. METHODS: This retrospective study …
