Abstract Background Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting ~ 10% of reproductive-age women, often causing pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its prevalence, diagnosis remains delayed due to non-specific symptoms and l…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to enhance the precision of categorization of endometrial lesions in ultrasound images via a data enhancement framework based on deep learning (DL), through addressing diagnostic accuracy challenges, con…

BACKGROUND Acute urinary retention (AUR) is relatively rare in non-pregnant women and is usually associated with lower urinary tract dysfunction, neurological issues, or pelvic organ compression. Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic conditio…

BACKGROUND: Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. The etiology of postpartum hemorrhage exhibits variations in relation to the mode of birth; consequently, risk factors for massive transfusi…

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital genitourinary abnormality defined by uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral urological anomalies. Accurate diagnosis and prompt commencement of therapy can be …
