OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of relugolix combination therapy in women with uterine fibroids (UFs) and concomitant ultrasound-diagnosed adenomyosis. DESIGN: This post hoc analysis used pooled data from completers of the pivotal LIBERTY…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) on the dysregulated synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins mediated by transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-β3) in uterine leiomyomas. DESIGN: Laboratory study. SETTING: Univ…

Recognizing the limited information, vague diagnostic criterion, and difficult clinical challenges posed by adenomyosis, the Society of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders organized an expert symposium to present the current understanding o…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis and uterine fibroids (UFs) may coexist in women with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). Relugolix combination therapy (Relugolix-CT: relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) is approved in the Un…

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) has an estimated prevalence of 18-32% but is known to be under-reported due to poor recognition and estimation of menstrual blood loss (MBL). HMB can negatively impact quality of life, affecting social interac…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a curcumin-supplemented diet would prevent and/or treat uterine leiomyoma growth in our mouse xenograft model. DESIGN: Animal study. SETTING: Laboratory study. PATIENT(S): N/A. INTERVENTION(S): Curcumin-suppl…

Abstract Study question Is once-daily linzagolix treatment for women with moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain (EAP) safe for use for up to 6 months of treatment? Summary answer Both doses of linzagolix were well-tolerated with …

Uterine leiomyomas or fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive tract. Estrogen (E2), a steroid-derived hormone, and its receptors (ERs), particularly ER-α, are important drivers for the development and growth of leiomy…
