IntroductionAbsolute uterine factor infertility, historically considered untreatable, remained without proven effective treatment until 2014, when the first birth following uterus transplantation from a living donor occurred in Sweden. Sinc…

Two separate phenotypes of adenomyosis have been recognized, determined by the anatomical position of the adenomyotic lesions within the myometrium. This suggests that adenomyosis impacting the inner myometrium and that affecting the outer …

Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-aged women, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation. The exact cause remains unknown, though genetic and epigenetic factors are increasingl…

Background/Objectives: Pain associated with endometriosis is complex and influenced by multiple factors. The presence of myofascial pelvic pain (MPP), associated comorbidities, and overlapping symptoms may play a role in endometriosis-assoc…

INTRODUCTION: Alterations in microbiota composition have been implicated in a variety of human diseases. Patients with adenomyosis present immune dysregulation leading to a persistent chronic inflammatory response. In this context, the hypo…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the sonographic and clinical findings in women diagnosed with external and internal adenomyosis by ultrasound? SUMMARY ANSWER: Patients with external and internal adenomyosis phenotypes, diagnosed by ultrasound, pr…

Nowadays, combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are successfully employed for the treatment of endometriosis (END) and adenomyosis (AD) in a large proportion of patients. However, literature focusing on the clinical and sonographic response t…

BACKGROUND: Vaccination can have an impact on menstruation, and this impact may be more notable in women with inflammatory gynecological pathologies such as endometriosis. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate the impact of mRNA-based SARS-C…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of preoperative ultrasound (US) in predicting the laparoscopically defined 2021 American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) Endometriosis Staging. DESIGN: Retrospective multicenter stu…

Deep endometriosis (DE) can be more aggressive than other types of endometriosis, and may even lead to irreversible severe complications such as complete unilateral loss of renal function. We aimed to describe the clinical and radiologic ch…

Abstract Background: Deep endometriosis (DE) is usually associated with severe pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and other pain symptoms and can be more aggressive than other types of endometriosis, even leading to irreversible severe complications…

Deep endometriosis (DE) occurs in 15-30% of patients with endometriosis and is associated with concomitant adenomyosis in around 25-49% of cases. There are no data about the effect of the presence of adenomyosis in terms of surgical outcome…

Study objectiveTo develop a new endometriosis classification system for scoring intraoperative surgical complexity and to examine its correlation with patient-reported pain and infertility.DesignMulticenter study of patients treated at 3 re…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in predicting detrusor infiltration and ureteral meatus involvement in patients with bladder endometriosis (BE) to select which cystoscopic procedures could be avoided a…

Abstract Background Deep endometriosis (DE) occurs in 15–30% of patients with endometriosis and is associated with concomitant adenomyosis in around 49% of cases. There are no data about the effect of the presence of adenomyosis in terms of…

BACKGROUND: The quality of life of women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is impaired and may improve with combined oral contraceptives (COCs). AIM: To compare the overall and sexual quality of life of patients diagnosed with DIE …

This study aimed to assess the impact of adenomyosis (AD) on different domains of sexual life. The study population included three groups: one composed of 68 women diagnosed with AD by transvaginal ultrasound, a second group comprised by 65…

Adenomyosis and endometriosis are similar gynecological diseases that decrease sexual quality of life and, in the case of endometriosis, satisfaction in couple relationships. This study aimed to assess sexual quality of life and couple sati…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the utility of carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) to detect malignancy in women with ovarian endometriosis, when ovarian cancer is suspected and ultrasonography results are inconclusive. …

Background: Quality of life in adenomyosis (AD) patients has been poorly investigated. Previous data suggest that AD has negative impact on the quality of life in these women. Materials and Methods: From September 2018 to December 2019, all…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: We performed a long-term follow-up to quantify the impairment of sexual quality of life (SQL) and health-related QL (HRQL) in sexually active women after laparoscopic excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIG…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in diagnosing deep endometriosis (DE) involving the uterosacral ligaments (USLs), torus uterinus (TU) or posterior vaginal fornix (PVF) in women with suspected endometrios…
