PURPOSE: A reduced fertilization rate is a frustrating condition for patients and embryologists. This study aimed develop a statistical metric, LOW FERTILIZATION, to determine whether a distinct pathological entity underlies reduced fertili…

OBJECTIVE: To synthesize the available evidence on abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) after cesarean section (CS) by characterizing its clinical features and timing of presentation, and to determine how often prior or concomitant endometrio…

Background: Chronic pelvic pain affects one in four women. Botulinum toxin, approved for chronic migraine and cervical dystonia pain, is an emerging treatment for other pain conditions. We evaluated intramuscular pelvic floor botulinum toxi…

UNLABELLED: Introduction: In recent years, dietary supplements have emerged as popular "natural" alternatives to conventional pharmacological treatments for various conditions, including endometriosis. The growing popularity of supplements …

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis and endometrial polyps are both estrogen-dependent conditions, and an association between these two pathologies has been observed in infertile women. Our research question was: "Is there an association between endo…

INTRODUCTION: Women with endometriosis frequently experience psychological and sexual concerns. Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) and progestin-only pills (POPs) represent first-line treatments for the disease, yet their potential negativ…

Endometriosis is a chronic, debilitating condition characterized by heterogenous clinical manifestations. It has a prevalence of 5-10% in women of reproductive age, and 30-50% of individuals with endometriosis are affected by infertility. T…

Endometriosis is associated with nociceptive pain and with peripheral as well as central sensitization. To relieve nociceptive pain, most symptomatic patients benefits from hormonal therapy, which includes first-line (progestogens and estro…

Endometriosis is associated with nociceptive pain, as well as peripheral and central sensitization. Evidence-based treatment suggestions for controlling endometriosis should be based on the convergence of the best scientific evidence, physi…

Background/Objectives: The scientific community is still divided between supporters of the implantation theory and researchers who advocate the theory of coelomic metaplasia/embryonic cell remnants to explain the initiation of endometriosis…

Endometriosis can impair natural reproduction through multiple mechanisms, including distortion of pelvic anatomy and chronic peritoneal inflammation. On this basis, surgical treatment might be reasonably expected to benefit. However, clini…

• X offers insights into public attitudes on FP and opportunities for better discussions. • Information is mainly given by private providers, with limited public institution engagement. • Private institutions’ focus may relate to the contro…

Background: Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent gynecological disorders with an increasing burden to women's health worldwide. Despite overlapping symptoms and long-term consequences, the magnitude of their co-occurren…

STUDY QUESTION: Is there a difference in uterine functional determinants between women with fibroids and women without myometrial pathology? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with uterine fibroids consistently exhibit altered uterine functional determ…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a common, benign, chronic inflammatory disease with multiple consequences, from chronic pain to systemic comorbidities and poor quality of life. As it usually affects people of reproductive age, one of the mos…

In their thought-provoking commentary, Hudelist et al.1 highlighted the inconsistent association between endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. They warned that the origin of symptoms may be multifactorial and not always due to the presence…

Moreira and Oliveira highlight the shortcomings of the current management of endometriosis symptoms based on exclusively lesion-centred models, and promote patient categorisation according to an individual's predominant neurobiological mech…

BACKGROUND: Pregnancy involves a fine-tuned hormonal interplay between the fetus, placenta, and mother, which shapes long-term developmental outcomes. Endometriosis has been hypothesized to originate in utero due to altered fetal exposure t…
