RESEARCH QUESTION: Are there differences in lifestyle and environmental exposures, and clinical characteristics between patients with histologically confirmed endometriosis residing in regional and metropolitan locations in Australia, and t…

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aims to synthesize available evidence on the prevalence of endometriosis in the trans male population. DATA SOURCES: A systematic review search was conducted using five databases: MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE, C…

There is growing evidence that people with endometriosis are utilising cannabis, whether legally or illicitly procured, for management of pain and associated symptoms. As such, concerns over cannabis use as a medicine are foremost in clinic…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects 11% of women of reproductive age. Diagnosis is often delayed by 6-8 years due to nonspecific symptoms and lack of early detection tools. This study aimed to develop an early risk prediction model for endome…

BACKGROUND: Australian endometriosis guidelines recommend transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) as the first-line investigation for endometriosis. Where endometriosis has been surgically treated, there is a risk of recurrent disease and repeat sur…

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study is aimed at describing the morphometry of the pelvic floor for a large population of women with persistent pelvic pain (PPP) compared with those without pain. METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional s…

Existing research on endometriosis and fertility-related care has highlighted an emphasis on fertility preservation above other healthcare outcomes, leading to a loss of reproductive autonomy. Guided by a critical realist lens, we sought to…

BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of endometriosis care guidelines from multiple governmental and professional organisations, their global applicability and recommendations have been insufficiently examined. This scoping review examines …

PURPOSE: To examine the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Australian women with endometriosis. METHODS: This population-based cohort study included 1,120 women with en…

STUDY QUESTION: Can patient-derived organoid models be reliably established from diverse surgical phenotypes of endometriosis, and how do clinical factors such as hormonal treatment affect their growth success and morphology? SUMMARY ANSWE…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate prevalence of pelvic floor tension myalgia and pelvic floor myalgia among individuals with endometriosis. The secondary outcome is to determine specific symptoms suggestive of pelvic floor tension myalgia or pel…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between structural reproductive anomalies and the risk of endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: This study used data from the Genetic variants, Early Life exposures, and Longitudinal Endometriosis symptoms Stud…

AIM: Systematic reduction of negative laparoscopy for pelvic pain is crucial to reducing surgical morbidity, improving diagnostic accuracy and minimising cost. This study aims to determine the incidence and consider the underlying causes of…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a condition with symptoms that vary widely, often affecting daily activities and quality of life. A patient-centered approach to identifying and measuring the most important symptoms has been recommended in the c…

Abstract Background Endometriosis is a common, chronic inflammatory condition impacting 10–14% of reproductive aged females. Common symptoms include severe dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and fatigue. Current symptom management options are often…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, heterogeneous disease with limited non-hormonal treatment options. Drug repurposing provides an accelerated route to identify safe, tolerable, and potentially effective therapies for endometriosis. Re…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: People with endometriosis report consuming cannabis to manage their endometriosis symptoms, however, its efficacy has not been established in clinical studies. This study aimed to determine the feasibility, acceptabi…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting up to 11% of people presumed female at birth by the age of 44 years, characterised by the growth of tissue similar to the lining of the uterus on other organs. Endometriosis signi…
