We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were o…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the presence and type of ultrasound markers of adenomyosis, as defined by MUSA criteria, predict IVF/ICSI outcomes, specifically live birth and pregnancy loss rates. METHODS: This single-center prospective co…
Abstract Study question Do all ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors and the full cascade of steroidogenic enzymes? Summary answer No. They are extremely heterogenous for the expression of FSH receptors, in respon…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-related infertility and its treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been broadly researched. Yet, underlying mechanisms of infertility, particularly in the absence of tubal dysfunction, remain …
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are prevalent causes of infertility, often coexisting in a significant proportion of patients. Although endometriosis typically does not negatively impact assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, the pr…
ObjectiveTo assess the impact of laparoscopy before in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment on live birth rates in patients with distal unilateral tubal obstruction (UTO).MethodsRetrospective cohort study which was conducted in tertiary ART …
