Introduction: Endometriosis is a term for an inflammatory condition where endometrium tissue develops outside the uterus. Endometriosis affects about 190 million reproductive-aged women. While medical and surgical therapies are essential, a…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to measure the correlation between miR-183 and gene expression that regulates apoptosis and adhesion mechanism that may be linked to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-four subjects, in…

Abstract Background Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disorder, poses significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment, often leading to delayed care and compromised quality of life. With the implementation of the Indonesian Nationa…

Objectives: To compare estradiol levels and proinflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, IL-1B, and COX-2) in endometriosis patients with pain and without pain after progestin therapy. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study involved 47 endo…

Background: Endometriosis affects approximately 4%–10% of women of reproductive age. The most common symptom is dysmenorrhea, which can impact patients’ physical, mental, and social lives. Early diagnosis is imperative, despite the fact tha…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease characterized by dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. The pathogenesis of endometriosis and its relationship to infertility are still not fully understood. In vitro fertilization (IVF) i…

Background: Endometriosis has a high recurrence rate within five years (40-50 %). High recurrence remarkably reduces Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). Patient-centered endometriosis care (PCEC) is a range of care that respects the pat…

Endometriosis affects women in many ways from infertility until reducing ovarian reserve. In women who do not want to immediately conceive, ovarium cortex cryopreservation may be an option for preserving fertility. Two patients with chief c…

Background: Endometriosis is a health problem that causes various biological, psychological, and social problems. Patient-centered care is the best standard of care in endometriosis cases. ENDOCARE is an questionnaire assessing all dimensio…

Vesicouterine fistula (VUF) is an abnormal communication between the bladder and uterus, occurring 1-4% of all urogenital fistulas. Diagnosis is still a challenge because symptoms may appear late or fistula may be missed even after repeated…

Abstract It has been known that the EGFR have the role for regulation the cytoskeleton activity and its expression increased in endometriosis tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the DNA methylation of the EGFR gene that might caus…

Background: Poor ovarian reserve and a high rate of pregnancy failure associated with low quality and quantity of oocytes are observed in poor responders to in vitro fertilization. Objective: To assess the effect of age, body mass index (BM…

Focal adhesion molecules involve in cellular migration, attachment, and play a role in endometriosis pathomechanisms. Recent studies showed that the expression of RAC1, a gene encoded focal adhesion molecule, was predominantly found in endo…

Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common conditions causing infertility and an indication to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF). High apoptosis rate and oxidative stress in patients with endometriosis are believed to negativel…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a frequent gynecological disorder. Its findings on the abdominal wall are rare cases, usually reported with a history of former surgery. The activation of PPARy expression could be one of alternative non-hormo…
