Bowel endometriosis affects between 3.8% and 37% of women with endometriosis. The evaluation of symptoms and clinical examination are inadequate for an accurate diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasonography is the firs…
BACKGROUND: When aromatase inhibitors are used to treat premenopausal women with endometriosis, additional drugs should be used to effectively down-regulate gonadal estrogen biosynthesis. This randomized prospective open-label study compare…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of MDCT enteroclysis with a split-bolus technique in detecting ureteral compression caused by endometriosis in women with suspected bowel endometriosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS…
OBJECTIVES: To compare the accuracy of multidetector computerized tomography enteroclysis (MDCT-e) and rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasonography (RWC-TVS) in determining the presence and extent of bowel endometriosis. METHODS: This…
Endometriosis is a chronic disease that causes pain and infertility. Combined oral contraceptives and progestins are commonly used for the treatment of endometriosis because they reduce the severity of pain symptoms in 60–70% of patients an…
Introduction: Tubal dysfunction is a leading factor in female infertility. Laparoscopy dye is the gold standard to detect tubal patency (laparoscopic chromohydrotubation, LSC-CHT), but hysterosalpingography (HSG) and hystero-contrast-sonogr…
This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in treating pain symptoms caused by endometriosis. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify all the published studies evaluating the efficac…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with vaginal danazol in improving the pain symptoms caused by rectovaginal endometriosis that persist after insertion of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD). METHODS…
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: Medical therapy is the most commonly used treatment for endometriosis. In particular, the administration of hormonal therapies aims to improve symptoms with minimal adverse effects. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW: Obs…
Since the presence of intestinal endometriosis cannot be reliably established by physical examination or the evaluation of intestinal symptoms, imaging techniques are required for the diagno- sis of bowel endometriosis. This review evaluate…

Objective To determine the concentration of haptoglobin (Hp) in peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis and its correlation with the phase of the menstrual cycle. The expression of Hpβe (determined by two-dimensional p…
Introduction: Endometriosis, defined as the growth of endometrial tissue outside \nthe uterine cavity is a common gynaecological disorder affecting 10-15% \nof women in their reproductive years. It is a major clinical problem causing in- \n…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of newly diagnosed endometriosis in premenopausal women who requested a consultation with their general practitioner because of non-gynecological problems. METHOD: Participants in the study were invi…
