STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the characteristics of adolescent and young adult patients undergoing surgery for severe endometriosis METHODS: We analyzed the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE) database, a multicenter databa…
STUDY QUESTION: How does the frequency and location of endometriosis lesions observed at laparoscopy vary with patient age? SUMMARY ANSWER: We find that older patients have more deep lesions and ovarian endometriomas at laparoscopy, althou…
INTRODUCTION: Evidence increasingly shows small nerve fibre pathology in subsets of people with fibromyalgia through skin biopsy, corneal confocal microscopy, and microneurography. However, blood-based biomarkers of ongoing neuronal damage,…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics of symptom flares, individual experiences and behaviours during flares in people with endometriosis. DESIGN: Online questionnaire shared on patient support sites. SETTING: People with a confirmed …
ABSTRACT: We explore bladder sensitivity profiles in females with chronic pelvic pain, using a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm. We aim to determine how profiles differ between groups defined by symptoms; groups defined by diagnose…
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common and burdensome symptom in women yet current clinical management frequently leaves many with persistent pain. The Translational Research in Pelvic Pain (TRiPP) project adopts a pain-focused strategy, aim…
BACKGROUND: Effective perioperative pain management is crucial to prevent patient suffering, delayed recovery, chronic postsurgical pain, and long-term opioid use. However, the heterogeneous use of outcomes in studies complicates evidence s…
This research project is a scoping review of the clinical guidance of the management of flares of symptoms in endometriosis. This review aims to address the management of symptom flares in endometriosis within clinical guidance documents. T…

This research project is a scoping review of the clinical guidance of the management of flares of symptoms in endometriosis. This review aims to address the management of symptom flares in endometriosis within clinical guidance documents. T…
ABSTRACT: Dyspareunia, or pain during sex, is a common and often debilitating symptom in individuals with endometriosis and/or interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Despite its significant impact on quality of life, it is fr…
Objective: To explore the characteristics of symptom flares, and individual experiences and behaviours during flares in people with endometriosis. Design: Online questionnaire shared on patient support sites. Setting: People with a confirme…
Background Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is considered a human proxy for descending inhibitory pain pathways. However, there is wide variation in the CPM response described in the literature and ongoing debate about its utility. Methods…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of those assigned female at birth. Diagnostic journeys can be complex. The average 8-9 years between presenting symptoms and diagnosis has not changed significantly despite guidance. AIM: …
BACKGROUND: Dysmenorrhoea affects many adolescents and often goes untreated for various sociocultural reasons. Dysmenorrhoea frequently co-occurs with other chronic pain conditions, and adult women with dysmenorrhoea have greater sensory se…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of gynecologic findings in Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) by reviewing current international guidelines and identifying relevant gynecologic co-morbidities. METHODS: This consensus state…
Endometriosis, defined as the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus, is a common disease among women. Numerous in vivo rodent models of endometriosis have been developed to explore multiple aspects of this poorly understood …
The aetiology of endometriosis remains poorly understood. In vitro model systems provide the opportunity to identify the mechanisms driving disease pathogenesis using human cells. Three-dimensional models, particularly organoid systems, hav…
Pain is a debilitating symptom of endometriosis, and its mechanisms are often explored using rodent models. However, a lack of harmonization amongst models and behavioural measures, in addition to inconsistent reporting, might limit the ove…
This Perspectives article reflects on findings from our systematic review about adolescent dysmenorrhoea Q, drawing on sociology of diagnosis theory. We consider tensions and uncertainties between presentation with symptoms of dysmenorrhoea…
BACKGROUND: Women who are black are less likely to be diagnosed with endometriosis than white women. There is no confirmed biological basis, so this likely represents structural barriers around health care. There is a lack of evidence explo…
