Endometriosis (EMs) is a common disease in women of childbearing age, categorized into ovarian, superficial, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Bladder endometriosis (BE) is a type of DIE with an incidence of approximately 1% among …

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome is a rare form of endometriosis in which endometrial tissue is thought to migrate to the lungs and, with the onset of menstruation, the ectopic foci bleed, causing a range of pulmonary manifestations. In this…

Excessive androgens may lead to abnormal folliculogenesis and anovulation. To explore the link between hyperandrogenism (HA) and anovulation - related infertility, we performed a two - sample Mendelian randomization analysis, followed by mu…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between dietary habits and nine common diseases with high female prevalence using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS: Drawing upon pooled Genome-Wi…

OBJECTIVE: While physical activity (PA) patterns are epidemiologically linked to gynecologic pathologies, establishing causality remains uncertain. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study evaluated causal relationships between PA phenotypes…

BackgroundIschemic heart disease (IHD) may share biological mechanisms with cancer, including ovarian cancer, through pathways such as chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. However, the relationship between IHD and ovarian cancer subty…

OBJECTIVE: To study the MRI characteristics of adenomyosis in secondary infertility patients, and to analyze the factors affecting pregnancy after High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). METHODS: Clinical data of 388 patients with adenom…

Endometrium, the lining of the uterus, changes dynamically in response to fluctuations in ovarian hormones. The proper endocrine environment regulates endometrial functions: menstruation and supporting pregnancy. Obesity is closely related …

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is characterized by ovarian dysfunction that develops from diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The exact aetiology of POI remains poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the role of CKAP…

BackgroundCesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy characterized by embryo implantation within the scar tissue of a prior cesarean delivery.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to …

The presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus is a defining characteristic of endometriosis, a chronic systemic illness that affects women of childbearing age. Despite its enigmatic nature, laparoscopy remains the gold standard for …

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a subtype of endometriosis. A case of retroperitoneal endometriosis surrounding the ureter and forming a pelvic mass is relatively rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old woman was admitted to …

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-metabolic condition in reproductive-aged women, linked to infertility and long-term cardiometabolic risk. Early identification remains challenging because current diagnosis re…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by symptoms such as hyperandrogenemia, oligo or anovulation and polycystic ovarian, significantly impacting q…

Liver fibrosis is induced by persistent stimulation of various factors, resulting from complex multicellular interactions and multifactorial networks. Without intervention, it can progress to cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Current underst…

BackgroundFor poor ovarian response patients, obtaining higher number of transferable and high-quality embryos is crucial and progestin-primed ovarian stimulation protocol is becoming widespread and constantly improving in this population. …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) in treating patients with adenomyosis and coexisting pelvic adhesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 396 patients diagnosed…

BACKGROUND: Melatonin is mainly secreted by the pineal gland during darkness and regulates biological rhythms through its receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In addition, it also plays a role in the reproductive sy…

Emerging but inconsistent evidence suggests that glyphosate (GLY)-based herbicides (GBHs) are more toxic than the active ingredient, GLY alone. Polyoxyethylene tallow amines (POEAs) are surfactants most widely used in GBH formulations, maki…

Objective: To synthesize the multifactorial determinants of fertility distress among reproductive-aged women with gynecological cancers, elucidating complex interactions among biological, psychological, and sociocultural dimensions. Methods…

OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a novel imaging technique that allows in vivo measurement of tissue mechanical properties, was used to test the prediction that the stiffness of the uterus may be increased due to fibrotic c…

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a deadly disease and lacks a precise marker for diagnosis worldwide. Our previous work has shown the overexpression of flotillin-1 (FLOT1) in OC tissue. To improve diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy, we evaluated the…

BackgroundGasless transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (G-vNOTES) can avoid complications related to pneumoperitoneum, but there is limited research on G-vNOTES. Here, we aimed to compare the hemodynamic profiles and…

Ectopic pancreas (EP) is most commonly located in the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach. Malignant transformation of EP is exceptionally rare, and due to its very low incidence, the response to drug therapy and overa…

Ovarian cancer remains a formidable global health burden, characterized by frequent late-stage diagnosis and elevated mortality rates attributable to its elusive pathogenesis and the critical lack of reliable early-detection biomarkers. Eme…
