Despite documented molecular and inflammatory alterations of the endometrium, clinical data from assisted reproductive technology do not support a meaningful impairment of endometrial receptivity in women with adenomyosis undergoing euploid…

Endometriosis can impair natural reproduction through multiple mechanisms, including distortion of pelvic anatomy and chronic peritoneal inflammation. On this basis, surgical treatment might be reasonably expected to benefit. However, clini…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to evaluate the second medical opinions (SMOs) clinical value for endometriosis diagnostic strategy and patient profiles, using nationwide data from a specialized French physician network dedicated to SM…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to review recent data that affected the clinical management of infertility associated with endometriosis. DATA SOURCES: We completed a PubMed review of all articles that included the following keywords: endometr…

Adenomyosis is a commonly encountered pathology in women of reproductive age and frequently coexists with infertility. The effect of adenomyosis on fertility, particularly on in vitro fertilisation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outco…

The countercurrent opinion given in this paper is that the optimal management of frozen embryo transfers (FET) is not a one-size-fits-all matter, but rather one that should be decided after considering all the various parameters and options…

Adenomyosis is a benign condition commonly encountered in patients with infertility. While the definitive surgical management is hysterectomy, conservative surgical management is gaining attention in patients desiring future fertility. This…

Adenomyosis is a commonly diagnosed benign condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands within the underlying myometrium. The most common presenting signs and symptoms are abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic p…

A narrative review of endometrial receptivity in adenomyosis and/or endometriosis revealed that this parameter is difficult to assess in natural conception because both disorders alter natural fertility. Recent data emanating from assisted …

Uterine Adenomyosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of endometrium-like epithelial and stromal tissue in the myometrium. Several medical treatments have been proposed, but still, no guidelines directing the management of…

Endometriosis was classically diagnosed during diagnostic laparoscopies, which used to be routinely performed up until a decade ago or so. This practice fitted with the long-held belief that surgery was the gold standard for diagnosing endo…

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue, has been the topic of renewed research and debate in recent years. The paradigm shift from the belief that endometriosis …

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the prevalence of ultrasound (US) features of adenomyosis in an infertile population undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF), (2) to define the inter- and intrarater agreement of t…

Endometriosis - a disease causing pain and infertility - is encountered in nearly 50% of infertile women. While medical treatment is effective on pain and recurrence of symptoms after surgical excision, it is of no help for treating inferti…
