Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe form of endometriosis that rarely undergoes malignant transformation, and when it does, diagnosis is often difficult. Here, we report two cases of long-standing DIE that progressed to endome…

OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is a debilitating gynecologic condition. The present study aimed to compare the effects of laparoscopic total hysterectomy (LTH) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on pain relief, menstrual blood loss, and s…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) compared with hysteroscopic niche resection (HNR) for women with niche-related postmenstrual spotting.DesignEconomic evaluation from a healthcar…

Endometriosis (EMs) affects the physical and mental health of a wide range of women of childbearing age. Exploring specific diagnostic targets and screening potential therapeutic drugs will help early diagnosis and improve prognosis. The di…

ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ovarian vein embolization combined with polidocanol sclerotherapy for Venous-origin chronic pelvic pain (VO-CPP) and to elucidate potential risk factors affecting prognosis.Me…

BACKGROUND: Direct comparative data on postoperative sexual function between laparoscopic total hysterectomy (LTH) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in adenomyosis (AM) remain limited; therefore, this retrospective study compared…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. There is a lack of effective biomarkers for early detection and revealing mechanisms of endometriosis. CSNK2A1 is a compositionally activ…

Aspiration combined with sclerotherapy is widely used for the management of pelvic cystic lesions in patients who are not suitable for surgery. However, the lack of histological confirmation remains a major limitation, particularly in multi…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by reproductive and metabolic disturbances, which causes a chronic lack of ovulation that leads to increased incidence of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and …

For women with diminished ovarian reserve or of advanced age, controlled ovarian stimulation presents a significant challenge during in vitro fertilization cycles. This multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial enrolled 318 wome…

BACKGROUND: Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive bilateral corneal ectatic disorder characterized by corneal thinning, irregular astigmatism, and subsequent vision impairment. The main purpose of this study is to investigate sex hormone-mediat…

BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) result from endometrial basal layer injury, leading to fibrous tissue formation and impaired fertility. Current treatments fail to fully reverse the fibrotic microenvironment. This study aimed to elu…

Several diseases affect the female reproductive system, and both disease factors and treatments impact its integrity and function. Consequently, understanding the mechanisms of disease occurrence and exploring treatment methods are key rese…

Bile reflux, resulting from pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR), not only alters the chemical of bile but also constitutes a significant risk factor for the occurrence and development of gallbladder cancer. In previous studies, the authors iden…

Excessive androgens may lead to abnormal folliculogenesis and anovulation. To explore the link between hyperandrogenism (HA) and anovulation - related infertility, we performed a two - sample Mendelian randomization analysis, followed by mu…

RESEARCH QUESTION: How does tubal endometriosis (TEM) impact the morphology and ultrastructure of tubal epithelium, and what are the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of TEM? DESIGN: Epithelial samples of fallopian tube were collect…

Background and aimPelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a chronic infection of the female upper genital tract, is a leading cause of morbidity in reproductive-aged women, often resulting in chronic pelvic pain, tubal infertility, and ectopic p…

The lack of accurate understanding of cellular physiology and pathophysiology during the WOI constitutes the major obstacle to correct diagnosis and treatment for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The role of cilia as one …
