AIM: Endometriosis mostly affects the ovary but can also be present outside of the ovary including the pelvic peritoneum, intestine, urinary tract and lung. In case of ovarian endometriotic cyst, an increased risk of ovarian cancer, especia…
The aim of this publication is to disseminate the clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of intestinal, bladder/ureteral, thoracic and umbilical endometriosis, already published in Japanese, to non-Japanese speakers. For developing …
Administration of Dienogest prior to hysteroscopic polypectomy is empirically performed, but the physiological effects of Dienogest on endometrial polyps are unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of Dienogest on the proliferation and…
BACKGROUND: Extra-pelvic endometriosis is a rare type of endometriosis, which occurs in a distant site from gynecological organs. The diagnosis of extra-pelvic endometriosis can be extremely challenging and may result in a delay in diagnosi…
When the presence of endometriotic lesions are not evident by hematoxylin and eosin staining, CD10 is used to highlight and confirm the presence of endometriotic stroma. However, CD10 is not specific only to the endometrial stroma but is al…
In endometriosis, M2 macrophages (MΦ) are dominant and promote the development of endometriosis lesions. However, the factor(s) which induces M2 MΦ are unknown. In the present study, we focused on interleukin (IL)-33, known as an alarmin an…
AIM: To investigate the safety and efficacy of dienogest (DNG), a progestational 19-norsteroid, administered for 52 weeks in patients with primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. METHODS: A total of 147 patients with dysmenorrhea received 1 mg …
Background: Relaxin (RLX)-2, produced by the corpus luteum and placenta, is known to be potentially effective in fibrotic diseases of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and bladder; however, its effectiveness in endometriosis has not yet been inves…
Non-hormonal therapeutic strategies for endometriosis are needed. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of prostaglandin (PG)E2 receptor inhibitors to explore their potential as novel therapeutic strategies for endometriosis…
Endometriosis exerts detrimental effects on ovarian physiology and compromises follicular health. Granulosa cells from patients with endometriosis are characterized by increased apoptosis, as well as high oxidative stress. Endoplasmic retic…
AIM: This study aimed to describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and operative or medical management of inguinal endometriosis. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 20 cases of inguinal endometriosis in our…
We aimed to examine how leuprorelin has been studied for the treatment of women with endometriosis in Asia. We conducted a literature search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov. This review includes randomised trials of w…
BACKGROUND: The recurrence rate after unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO) for unilateral endometrioma has not been reported. We evaluated the rate of and risk factors for endometrioma recurrence after USO. METHODS: In this retrospective …
Desmoid tumors, which are often estrogen-dependent, frequently develop in surgical wounds. Here we report the case of 33-year-old woman with a 4-cm solid mass detected in her left adnexal area. She had previously undergone a laparoscopic su…
STUDY QUESTION: Does the GnRH antagonist, ASP1707, reduce endometriosis-associated pelvic pain? SUMMARY ANSWER: ASP1707 significantly reduced endometriosis-associated pelvic pain in a dose-related manner. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: GnRH agonist…
CONTEXT: The ovarian reserve is reduced in patients with endometriosis. We hypothesize that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) Akt-Forkhead box O (Foxo3) pathway is involv…
