BACKGROUND: The association between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and endometriosis is undefined. AIMS: The primary aim was to identify clinical predictors of endometriosis in IBD. Secondary aim was to compare symptoms and IBD character…

Abstract Purpose Identify the association between endometriosis/adenomyosis and Congenital Uterine Malformations (CUMs), determine the malformation most commonly associated and detect the #Enzian compartment most frequently involved. Meth…

Objective To evaluate presence and characteristics of endometriosis/adenomyosis in premenopausal women with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and to compare symptoms, endometriosis /adenomyosis type and distribution between patients with an…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the long-term efficacy of dienogest in treating large ovarian endometriomas (≥5 cm), assessed by transvaginal sonography (TVS) changes in size, greyscale, colour Doppler features, #Enzian score and symptoms over t…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare clinical and ultrasound outcomes over 24 months in premenopausal women with ultrasound-diagnosed endometriosis/adenomyosis, never treated surgically, and managed with or without hormonal therapy. We s…

A T-shaped uterus is a uterine malformation, which can be either congenital or acquired, potentially impairing fertility and increasing the risk of miscarriage. Diagnosis primarily relies on three-dimensional ultrasound and hysteroscopy. Hy…

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and endometriosis are both chronic inflammatory-mediated conditions, sharing clinical features. The association between IBD and endometriosis remains poorly defined. In a multidisciplinar…

OBJECTIVES: To describe the longitudinal ultrasound features and clinical course of ovarian endometriomas in postmenopausal women, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide follow-up strategies. METHODS: This retrospective observatio…

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and endometriosis are both immuno-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases, sharing some common clinical manifestations.A possible association between IBD and endometriosis is undefined.In …

OBJECTIVE: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a clinical phenomenon characterized by a lack of implantation after several embryo-transfers. The aim of this study was to evaluate missing pelvic pathologies in patients with RIF, followin…

Abstract Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is a significant cause of pelvic pain and infertility. It manifests in three patterns: superficial peritoneal lesions, ovarian endometriomas, and deep infilt…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of ovarian endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and adenomyosis in adolescents (12-20 years) with severe dysmenorrhea based on specific ultrasound findings. METHODS: This retrospective…

PURPOSE: Review and compare current classifications for diagnosing T-shaped uterus using three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVS) measurements, identifying measurements that best correlate with the diagnosis. METHODS: This retros…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the progression of endometriosis and painful symptoms in young women (≤ 25 years) with severe dysmenorrhea (Visual Analogue Scale score ≥ 7), with or without ultrasound-detected endometriosis, over a follow-up period…

Background and Objectives: The association between endometriosis and breast cancer still remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the different subtypes of breast cancer, immunohistochemical markers, hormone receptors…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis and migraine frequently coexist, but only a limited number of studies have focused on their mutual association. The aim of our study was to investigate, in untreated women with comorbid endometriosis/adenomyosis an…

We aimed to evaluate the changes of pelvic endometriosis by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), over a period of at least 24 months, using #Enzian classification in women who were managed only by medical treatment, without previous surgery. We i…

PURPOSE: Evaluating menstrual blood loss (MBL) in primary healthcare is challenging. Our study aimed to assess MBL using two methods: self-perception and pictograms (Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart-PBAC and Menstrual Pictogram superabsorbe…

Abstract Purpose: Evaluating menstrual blood loss (MBL) in primary healthcare is challenging. Our study aimed to assess MBL using two methods: self-perception and pictograms (Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart -PBAC- and Menstrual Pictogram …

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) share some epidemiological, clinical and pathogenetic features. A differential diagnosis between pelvic endometriosis and IBD may be challenging, even for expert clin…

To diagnose endometriosis in adolescents (12-20yrs) with severe dysmenorrhea through specific ultrasonographic findings and to correlate the symptoms to its different forms: ovarian, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and adenomyosis. Th…
