OBJECTIVE: To evaluate IVF outcome in women with unoperated bilateral endometriomas. DESIGN: Multicenter retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: Two infertility units. PATIENT(S): Thirty-nine women with bilateral endometriomas matched with…
There is a general belief that pregnancy has a beneficial effect on endometriosis but evidence is scanty. Moreover, some recent warning reports documented progression-growth of ovarian endometriomas during pregnancy. To further elucidate th…
Women in Western nations are exposed to an "unnatural" high number of menstrual cycles and this has been claimed to favour the development of endometriosis. If so, the prevalence of the disease should be low in remote rural settings charact…
background: There is a growing consensus that ovarian endometriomas should not be systematically removed in women selected for IVF. However, some recent evidence suggested that the presence of these cysts may negatively affect the course of…
Dysmenorrhea as a reason to initiate estroprogestins is significantly more common in women with endometriosis than in women without the disease. This might explain the previously reported mild association between endometriosis and past use …
BACKGROUND: A possible and neglected concern in women with endometriosis undergoing IVF is the potential risk of progression of the disease. We set up a prospective study mainly aimed at evaluating the impact of IVF on endometriosis-related…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Perinatal environmental exposure may affect fetal development and reprogram the developing organism for adult-onset disease. In this case-control study, we aimed at assessing this pathogenetic model in endometriosis. METHOD…
BACKGROUND: There is a growing consensus that ovarian reserve is reduced after surgical excision of ovarian endometriomas. However, it remains to be fully clarified whether this damage precedes or follows surgery. In order to further elucid…
BACKGROUND: There is limited but interesting evidence suggesting that endometriosis may be associated with specific pigmentary traits and sun habits. In this case-control study, we aimed to further clarify this point. MATERIALS AND METHODS:…
Laparoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of endometriosis. Although some forms of the disease, such as ovarian endometriomas or deep infiltrating lesions, can now be reliably diagnosed using non-invasive instruments, adhesions and…
BACKGROUND: There is growing and consistent evidence showing that ovarian reserve is affected following surgical excision of ovarian endometriomas. Of particular concern is the risk of severe ovarian damage leading to unresponsiveness to ov…
The pathogenesis of some forms of endometriosis is still controversial. Different research approaches have been used to clarify this issue and an intense debate has derived over the years among scientists. This paper presents and discusses …
