Abstract Sex hormones exert widespread effects on immune, metabolic, and cardiovascular physiology, yet their systemic impact in healthy women remains poorly characterised due to the scarcity of longitudinal molecular data across the menst…

Endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of childbearing age, significantly impacting their daily lives, mental health, and quality of life. This study explores the relationship between chronic pain, patien…

BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) has revolutionized the diagnosis of deep endometriosis. We can now accurately describe and evaluate lesions in multiple compartments of the pelvis, increasing diagnostic capac…

Abstract Ultrasound is a readily available, non-invasive and low cost screening for the identification of endometriosis lesions, but its diagnostic specificity strongly depends on the experience of the operator. For this reason, computer-ai…

OBJECTIVE:: Some recent studies have explored how the experience in the observers change their performance in the endometriosis detection using MRI but the effects of the clinical information remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent benign chronic disease that requires a chronic medical therapy. Although currently available drugs are efficacious in treating endometriosis-related pain, some women experience partial or n…

Objectives: To define the sonographic morphological description and localization of deep endometriosis in a preliminary consensus statement.\nMethods: After a preliminary request of participation, we received several suggestions from partic…

Two premenopausal women presented with endometrioma and slightly elevated CA 125 plasma levels (42.5 and 39.0 U/ml). After initial evaluation, both patients had an episode of sudden onset of pelvic pain with rapid resolution after a few hou…

OBJECTIVE: To verify if a 6-month period of hypoestrogenism due to chronic treatment with GnRH analogue (GnRH-a) causes irreversible bone loss in young women. DESIGN: Controlled clinical study in volunteer women. SETTING: Department of Obst…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of transvaginal ultrasonography combined with CA-125 plasma levels in the diagnosis of endometrioma. DESIGN: Prospective study with pathological confirmation of the diagnosis. SETTING: Department of Obstetric…

Endometriomas have a prevalence of 24% among all ovarian cysts. Various sonographic features have been proposed to identify endometriomas. Although the visualization of ovarian masses with low-level internal echoes is suggestive for the end…

Endometriosis is a disease of the female pelvic mesenchyme in which tissue with epithelial and stromal characteristics of the endometrium develops in a situation other than in the uterus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence…

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of laparoscopy not only in the diagnosis but also in the therapy of pelvic endometriosis. Ninety-four patients underwent laparoscopy between May 1991 and May 1993. The patients were divi…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficiency of transvaginal ultrasonography in the screening of endometriomas and in differentiating endometriomas from other ovarian masses. DESIGN: Prospective study with surgical and pathological confirmation of …
