To determine whether recurrent endometriomas are associated with multiple deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions. This was an observational, cross-sectional, cohort study of 611 consecutive symptomatic women with endometrioma who und…
BACKGROUND: The time between symptoms onset and endometriosis diagnosis is usually long. The negative impacts of delayed endometriosis diagnosis can affect patients and health outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study using clin…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does endometrioma size affect the number of oocytes retrieved after ovarian stimulation in women with endometriosis-related infertility undergoing IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)? DESIGN: Cohort study of infe…
Abstract Study question Are there any fertility disorders and related local and/or systemic immune changes during the early implantation period in a mouse model of adenomyosis? Summary answer An increase in fertility disorders was observed …
STUDY QUESTION: What is the impact of adenomyosis on the live birth rate (LBR) in women affected by endometriosis women undergoing ART? SUMMARY ANSWER: For women undergoing ART, the presence of adenomyosis at MRI, especially T2 high-signal…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic disease characterized by invasion of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Clinically, it can result in abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. Adenomyosis has historically…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the adenomyosis phenotype affects the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based serum metabolic profile of patients. DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: University hospital-based research center. PATIENT…
Adenomyosis is a chronic benign uterine disease characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. It is a heterogeneous disease, presenting various clinical forms, depending on the location of the ectopic…
The objective of this paper is to compare assisted reproductive technology (ART) cumulative live birth rates after hysteroscopic proximal tubal occlusion and laparoscopic salpingectomy in endometriosis patients, for management of hydrosalpi…
RESEARCH QUESTION: In women with radiologically diagnosed adenomyosis, is the presence of endometriosis associated with a higher rate of miscarriage? DESIGN: An observational cohort study of women who received medical care for benign gynae…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What prognostic factors relate to a high oocyte yield in fertility preservation for women affected by endometriosis? DESIGN: Observational cohort study conducted in a tertiary care university hospital between April 2015 …
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two frequent diseases that impair women's quality of life by causing pain and infertility. Both endometriosis and adenomyosis are heterogeneous diseases that manifest as different forms. Adenomyosis may be …
The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been implicated in the development of adenomyosis, along with dysregulated immune responses. Inflammation potentially induces Notch signaling, which could promote this EMT. The objective of…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the assisted reproductive technology (ART) cumulative live-birth rate (LBR) in a cohort of bowel endometriosis patients with no prior history of surgery for endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: …
Abstract Study question How to assess the different adenomyosis phenotype before and after pregnancy on magnetic resonance imaging according to stringent validated criteria ? Summary answer Diffuse adenomyosis increases significantly after …
Abstract Study question Does endometrioma (OMA) size affect the number of oocytes retrieved after ovarian stimulation (OS) in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)? Summary answer: No significant difference in the number of oocyt…
Abstract Study question What is the impact of adenomyosis and its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics on live birth rate (LBR) in endometriosis-affected women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment? Summary answer Am…
Abstract Study question Does a previous history of surgery for ovarian endometriosis (OMA) has an impact on controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) response in case of fertility preservation (FP) for endometriosis? Summary answer After COS, a …
STUDY QUESTION: Do adenomyosis phenotypes such as external or internal adenomyosis, as diagnosed by MRI, have the same clinical characteristics? SUMMARY ANSWER: External adenomyosis was found more often in young and nulliparous women and w…
For patients with endometriosis-related infertility, the impact of previous surgery for endometriosis before assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial, particularly in cases of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DE). To stu…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the correlation between serum metabolic profile and endometriosis phenotype? DESIGN: A pilot study nestled in a prospective cohort study at a university hospital, including 46 patients with painful endometriosis …
OBJECTIVE: To study the association between adenomyosis and infertility, according to the adenomyosis phenotype as diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DESIGN: A single-center, cross-sectional study. SETTING: University hospital…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the presence of focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (FAOM) at preoperative magnetic resonance imaging is associated with the severity of deep infiltrating endometriosis. DESIGN: Observational cross-sec…
