Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the development of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, but its cause remains largely unknown. Numerous genes have been studied and proposed to help explain its pathogenesis. However, the large …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Bladder involvement is rare in endometriosis. The prevalence is estimated to be ∼1% in patients with endometriosis. However, this figure seems to be an underestimation. The diagnosis of bladder endometriosis might be missed…

The two major consequences of endometriosis are pain and infertility. Despite numerous studies and proposed guidelines, some aspects of the treatment for these complications are still under debate or lack convincing evidence that favors one…

Endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Few studies have also shown increased risk of breast cancer. BRCA1/2 mutations are linked to an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers but their relation to endomet…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine the efficiency of laparoscopic ureterolysis for ureteral endometriosis and to describe appropriate treatment. DESIGN: Prospective trial (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: University hospital. …

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive screening tests may allow early diagnosis and prompt treatment, thereby potentially reducing morbidity and mortality and reducing costs for the community. This may be especially important for gynecologic pathologies…

This review summarizes the current use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in obstetrics, gynecology and infertility. These medications are commonly used in different fields of reproductive medicine, for pain management after …
