Endometriosis is a common inflammatory estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder, associated with pelvic pain and reduced fertility in women. Several aspects of this disorder and its cellular and molecular etiology remain unresolved. We hav…
BACKGROUND: Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an established therapy in urology and gastroenterological surgery for treatment of overactive bladder symptoms, urge urinary incontinence or fecal incontinence. SNM has also been used with good re…
Abstract Background Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an established therapy in urology and gastroenterological surgery for treatment of overactive bladder symptoms, urge urinary incontinence or fecal incontinence. SNM has also been used wi…
Abstract Background: When peritoneal endometriosis is clinically suspected, empirical medical therapy should be the first-line treatment. Diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy may be offered after failed or unsuitable medical therapy in wo…

Dysmenorrhea affects quality of life, but is often inadequately treated in teenagers. The mainstay of treatment is NSAID, which must be started pre-emptively and in adequate dose. If NSAID provides insufficient pain relief, or when contrace…
STUDY QUESTION: What is the role of SFRP2 in endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: SFRP2 acts as a canonical WNT/CTNNB1 signaling agonist in endometriosis, regulating endometriosis lesion growth and indicating endometriosis lesion borders together…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To study the safety and efficacy of dienogest 2 mg in adolescents with suspected endometriosis. DESIGN: A 52-week, open-label, single-arm study. SETTING: In 21 study centers, in 6 European countries. PARTICIPANTS: Adoles…
Excision of all endometriotic lesions is the method of choice in the treatment of severe endometriosis resistant to medical therapy. The infiltrating nature of the disease as well as extensive surgery may, however, cause chronic pain that c…
In adenomyosis, endometrial glandular and stromal cells grow inside the myometrium, and form localized or diffusely expanding islets. Smooth muscle cells of the uterus surrounding the adenomyosis colonies become hypertrophic, which may lead…
Aberrant sex steroid signaling is suggested to promote endometriosis growth by several mechanisms, and the tissue concentrations of sex steroids are key determinants of the hormone action. However, their concentrations are only superficiall…
ObjectiveHuman epididymal secretory protein E4 (HE4) is a new promising tumor marker developed for the diagnostics and follow up of ovarian cancer. It has yet to become widely accepted in clinical practice, and its biological properties hav…
Human epididymal secretory protein E4 (HE4, also known as WAP four-disulphide core domain protein 2) is a new promising biomarker for ovarian cancer but its specificity against ovarian endometriotic cysts is only superficially known. We, th…
