PURPOSE: Vaginal delivery is the most common mode of childbirth, and women often experience severe uterine contraction pain (UCP) for several days postpartum, which can significantly impair postpartum recovery. Acupuncture has proven effica…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder and a major cause of anovulatory infertility, often requiring assisted reproductive technology (ART). The freeze-all strategy followed by frozen-thawed embryo tr…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disorder, significantly impacts fertility and quality of life. Identifying effective therapeutic targets is critical for their management. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to …

BACKGROUND: Synchronous endometrioid endometrial and ovarian carcinomas (SEEOCs) represent a small yet clinically significant entity of gynecological malignancies. Their clinicopathological correlations, immunohistochemical profiles, and pr…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a complex multifactorial infectious disorder of the female reproductive tract, associated with severe long-term sequelae including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain, as well as elev…

Background/Objectives: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological disorder characterized by painful uterine contractions. Danggui Buxue Decoction (DBD) is used to treat menstrual irregularities, but its mechanism in primary dysmenorrhea…

PURPOSE: This paper provides a systematic review of the current applications of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the imaging of pelvic floor-related anatomical structures and the assessment of microscopic pathological changes. METHODS: A …

BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER) is critical for embryo implantation, and its impairment is a major contributor to infertility. Current ER evaluation methods are invasive and poorly standardized. Shear wave elastography (SWE) offers…

Endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) is a preinvasive precursor of endometrial carcinoma, yet its recognition in secretory-phase endometrium remains diagnostically challenging. Current criteria for EIN diagnosis do not account for f…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder with a complex pathogenesis that includes disordered follicle development, hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis dysfunction, hyperandrogenemia, and insulin resistance. The…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This study aimed to investigate the role of FOXQ1 in the pathogenesis of EMs, particularly thr…

BACKGROUND: As the global population ages, pancreatitis in older adults has become a public health issue. Nonetheless, detailed information on its global impact and changing patterns is limited. We sought to explore the epidemiological tren…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common infectious condition of the female upper genital tract that imposes a substantial global burden on women's reproductive health and overall quality of life. This narrative review aims to comprehe…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the live birth rate (LBR) of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment using vitrified donated oocytes in China and to investigate the influencing factors on live birth outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective co…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop international expert consensus statements on chronic endometritis (CE) through a comprehensive literature review of existing evidence and a modified Delphi approach. METHODS: Ten panelists of the Japan …

This case explored a novel surgical method to fix levonorgestrel 52-mg intrauterine devices in patients with adenomyosis and uterine septum. The procedure is convenient and feasible, and successfully applied the technique in a 43-year-old p…

BACKGROUND: Excessive activation of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis (EMs), which is characterized by ectopic lesion growth and chronic pelvic pain. However, effective…

Abstract Background Progressive fibrosis of ectopic lesions is a major pathological feature of endometriosis, contributing to treatment resistance and disease recurrence. However, the mechanisms driving this fibrotic process remain incomp…

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopy is widely used in benign gynaecological surgeries. However, postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and delayed defecation are often negatively affected af…

Despite recent advancements in diagnostic techniques and infertility treatments, the precise underlying cause of infertility remains elusive in numerous cases. Elevated immune cell levels in the reproductive tract frequently result in decre…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common gynecological condition that causes inflammation in the upper reproductive tract. It affects millions of women globally each year and can lead to long-term complications such as infertility, ect…

The emergence of organoids has received widespread attention for faithful recapitulation of physiological and pathological conditions, together with overcoming the major bottleneck of extrapolating laboratory findings from model systems to …

Endometriosis is a debilitating, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by profound diagnostic delays due to clinical reliance on invasive laparoscopy. Developing noninvasive, point-of-care biomarker assessment remains a cr…

Epidemiological inconsistencies currently obscure the causal link between polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and breast cancer. This review synthesizes multi-disciplinary evidence to characterize PCBs not as passive exposure correlates but as…

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have suggested that assessing endometrial and subendometrial blood flow can contribute to the evaluation of endometrial receptivity. However, there remains a lack of unified expert consensus regarding the assess…
