Endometriosis-associated pain afflicts an enormous number of women who suffer from endometriosis. There is an urgent need to explore the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated pain to identify targets for treatment of hyperalgesia. A sear…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors for the recurrence of endometrioma and the risk factors for the recurrence of endometriosis-related pain after long-term follow-up. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed 358 women with endometr…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term effects of using the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) to treat symptomatic adenomyosis. METHOD: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted among 1100 women who received the LN…

Endometriosis is one of the major causes of economic burden and compromised quality of life in a very large percentage of Asian women. While it is perceived as a benign condition, recent research has shown that it may be a significant cause…

To the Editor: Uterine adenomyosis (AM) is caused by the ectopic growth of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium of the uterus, accompanied by hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the surrounding smooth muscle cells, leading to a diffus…

BACKGROUND: Synchronous endometriosis has been poorly studied in women with endometrioid borderline ovarian tumors (EBOTs). The aims of this study were to compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis of EBOTs with or without endom…

Objective: To evaluate the impact of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) used before surgery on natural pregnancy rates in patients with ovarian endometriomas. Methods: In this retrospective study, 57 patients with ovarian endom…

BACKGROUND: To compare potential factors associated with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) versus ovarian endometrioma (OMA) among endometriosis patients in China. METHODS: A subgroup analysis of factors associated with DIE versus OMA …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a challenging disease with symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and infertility. However, its etiology is still vague and there is still no effective markers or treatment. This study aimed to profile the circular RNAs …

BACKGROUND: When considering the issue of recurrence, perimenopausal women may have more dilemma during management comparing with young women, for example, whether to retain the uterus and ovary during surgery, whether it is necessary to ad…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, although their expression pattern and role in endometriosis remains unknown. Therefore, here, we profiled the expression patterns of circRNAs in ovarian ectopic and…

Objective: To explore how to reduce the incidence of pelvic mass after hysterectomy, and to evaluate clinical characteristics and the risks. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in 85 patients who returned for surgery due to a pel…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a gynecological disorder with symptoms most presenting as dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding. However, the presence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among women with adenomyosis remains unclear. This …

BACKGROUND: To explore the risk factors of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) in women with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) aged 45 years and above in China. METHODS: This study reviewed the medical records of 1038 women in total w…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate treatment effects of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for adenomyosis with severe dysmenorrhea in a prospective cohort study. METHODS: From December 2006 to December 2014, patients of symptom…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of placement in the procedures of gynecological laparoscopies or routine placement on the effects of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for symptomatic adenomyosis in a prospective co…

Objective: The aim was to assess the efficacy of post-operative adjuvant treatment with goserelin acetate for reducing the recurrence of pelvic symptoms and total recurrence rates in Chinese patients with moderate to severe endometriosis.

BACKGROUND: The effect of endometriosis on obstetric outcomes is still ambiguous. The aim of our study was to determine the association between endometriosis and adverse obstetric outcomes in a cohort of Chinese women. METHODS: A retrospec…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of potassium channels and the influence of estrogen and progesterone on the cultured uterine smooth muscle cells (USMC) of adenomyosis in vitro. METHODS: There were 22 cases of adenomyosis hysterect…

OBJECTIVE: To profile the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression patterns in ovarian ectopic endometrial tissue compared with paired eutopic endometrial tissue. DESIGN: Genome-wide expression analysis of human tissue. SETTING: University …

Endometriosis (EM) impacts the healthcare and the quality of life for women of reproductive age. However, there is no reliable noninvasive diagnosis method for either animal study or clinical use. In this work, a novel imaging method, photo…
