The pathophysiology of endometriosis-associated pain involves inflammatory and hormonal alterations and changes in brain signaling pathways. Although medical treatment can provide temporary relief, most patients can achieve long-term sustai…
Abstract Endometriosis and uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are benign gynecological disorders affecting 5-15% of women of reproductive age. They cause a wide range of symptoms including mild to severe pelvic pain and infertility. Due to a pau…
Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is characterized by penetration of endometriosis more than 5 mm into the affected tissue, commonly involving the uterosacral ligaments, rectovaginal septum, and rectosigmoid colon, with partial or com…
Abstract Background Chronic pelvic pain is often overlooked during primary examinations because of the numerous causes of such “vague” symptoms. However, this pain can often mask endometriosis, a smoldering disease that is not easily identi…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological inflammatory disorder in which immune system dysregulation is thought to play a role in its initiation and progression. Current agency-approved hormonal therapies, including synthetic progestins, GnR…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity and is believed to affect 6%-10% of reproductive-age women. Endometriosis within the lung parenchyma or on the diaph…
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological inflammatory disorder in which immune system dysregulation is thought to play a role in its initiation and progression. Due to altered sex steroid receptor concentrations and other signaling defects,…
The most common location of extragenital endometriosis is the bowel. Medical treatment may not provide long-term improvement in patients who are symptomatic, and consequently most of these patients may require surgical intervention. Over th…
INTRODUCTION: To re-assess the coexistence of histology-proven endometriosis in women with symptomatic leiomyomas. Reappraisal of our previous study performed in 2010. METHODS: Retrospective review of a prospective data-based collection of …
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has potential local effects on ovarian function and endometrial tissue, including endometriosis, but its presence in peritoneal fluid is not fully understood. This is a cross-sectional study evaluating AMH in p…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The relationship between leiomyoma and endometriosis is poorly understood. Both contribute to considerable pain and may cause subfertility or infertility in women. We conducted this retrospective study to assess t…
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has potential local effects on ovarian function and endometrial tissue, including endometriosis, but its presence in peritoneal fluid is not fully understood. This is a cross-sectional study evaluating AMH in pe…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Women with endometriosis often report onset of symptoms during adolescence; however, the diagnosis of endometriosis is often delayed. The aim of this study was to describe the experience of adolescents who underwe…
