STUDY QUESTION: What is the impact on live birth rates (LBR) when a donor IUI (dIUI) cycle is performed with an insemination volume of 0.5 mL versus the usual 0.2 mL? SUMMARY ANSWER: LBR after a dIUI cycle is no different when performed wi…
STUDY QUESTION: Is the length of the anogenital distance (AGD) a biomarker of ovarian reserve and response to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Shorter AGD is associated with presence of poor ovarian response. WHAT IS …

Adenomyosis was the main topic in the 2016 Society of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders (SEUD) Congress. Latest evidence in endometriosis and other uterine disorders, such as fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) were also covered.…
IntroductionRecent reports consider endometriosis to be an immunological disorder, thus suggesting potential efficacy of immunomodulators for its treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of oral administration of pentoxify…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynaecological disease. Abundant bulk of evidence suggests that patients with endometriosis have an immunity dysfunction that enables ectopic endometrial cells to implant and proliferate. Previous studi…
