Background/Objectives: Adenomyosis is a common estrogen-dependent gynecological condition with a largely undefined genetic architecture. Ciliary dysfunction has been implicated in its pathogenesis, positioning genes governing ciliary struct…

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue growth and is strongly associated with oxidative stress; however, systemic biomarkers reflecting this stress response remain …

Objective: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine condition characterized by the invasion of endometrial glands and stromal tissue into the myometrium. It exhibits cancer-like characteristics, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We ai…

INTRODUCTION: Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a diagnosis of exclusion in the absence of pathological findings. We aimed to test the hypothesis that cervical motion tenderness (or parametropathy) may serve as a diagnostic tool for CP…

Background: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder defined by the invagination of ectopic endometrial-like tissue into the myometrium, causing heavy menstrual bleeding and pain. While its pathogenesis remains unclear, shared-symptomology …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that is defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. The most common localization is the ovaries, and endometriosis in this locat…

Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified 42 genom…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent, chronic inflammatory disease that affects 10% of women during the reproductive ages. Despite the estimated 50% heritability for the condition, only 26% was associated with common genetic v…

PurposeThe aim of the study is to show the relationship between oxidative stress and ectopic pregnancy.Materials and methodsA total of 62 patients, 31 in the ectopic pregnancy group (study group) and 31 in the first-trimester pregnancy (con…

Extrapelvic endometriosis has been reported in nearly every organ system of the human female body. The etiology of this disease may well be due to one or more factors. Though less common than pelvic disease, extrapelvic endometriosis is oft…

Background and aimThe primary aim of this study was to compare mother-infant bonding (MIB) in patients who delivered vaginally and who delivered with C/S using Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)…

Objective: To evaluate the role of oxidative stress in endometriosis patients by determining dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels. Patients and Methods: This prospective case-controlled study was co…

OBJECTIVE: This review aimed to categorize thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) according to whether the presenting symptoms were catamenial and to evaluate whether such a categorization enables a better management strategy. DATA SOURCES:…

Abstract: This review on the minimally invasive surgical management of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) was constructed from a synthesis of our experience and the literature. Following a description of CPP and its causes, a general introduction to…

OBJECTIVES: Crohn's disease (CD) is a repeating bowel disease characterized by remission and exacerbation periods. The disease mostly affects adults of reproductive age. Women with desires to conceive are concerned about the effects of CD o…

Introduction: Retroperitoneal fibrosis (adhesions) in the pelvic area is rare and not well known in gynecology. However, their presence can cause compression neuropathy leading to severe pain symptoms involving the lower extremities. A neur…

Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent chronic disease, which is commonly regarded as a disease of reproductive-aged women. We aimed to evaluate the sexual function with Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in women with endometriosis who r…

PurposeThe aim of this study was to determine the autoimmune effects of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) on the fertility potential of women by evaluating ovarian reserves of AS patients.MethodsA total of 104 patients, 52 in the AS group (study …

OBJECTIVE: To apply rapid online surveying to determine the knowledge and perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with endometriosis in Turkey. METHODS: An online survey was conducted by the Turkish Endometriosis & Adenomyosis Soci…
