BackgroundClinical studies on medical cannabis (MC) treatment have shown sex-related differences, including higher susceptibility to adverse events among women and greater analgesia among men. Here, we used the Syqe metered-dose inhaler (MD…
ObjectiveTo study whether there is a difference in the prevalence of non-cavity-distorting uterine fibroids between infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and those with unexplained infertility (UI).DesignA secondary analy…
Study questionDoes fertility-related quality of life (FertiQOL) differ by infertility diagnosis between women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their partners, compared with couples with unexplained infertility (UI)?Summary answerWo…
CONTEXT: Endometriosis, the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, is principally an estrogen-dependent disease. In contrast, exposure to progesterone during pregnancy or therapeutically has been shown to provide benefit to some w…
Two recent studies reported in this issue of Fertility and Sterility have explored important issues regarding the understanding and diagnosing of endometriosis. These studies emphasize the complexity of endometriosis and underscore the diff…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze endometrial progesterone receptor (PR) expression in women with endometriosis compared with disease-free women and to assess the impact of in vitro 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) exposure on PR isotype expr…
ObjectiveTo discuss the role that reduced endometrial responsiveness to progesterone (P) might play in the pathophysiology of endometriosis.DesignA review of experimental evidence regarding the failure of P to regulate the expression of mat…
The endometrial lining of the human uterus is a highly specialized, steroid-sensitive tissue. Throughout the reproductive years, the endometrium undergoes dramatic cycles of growth, differentiation, and breakdown under the influence of ovar…
The human endometrium exhibits regular cycles of growth, differentiation, and breakdown in response to changing levels of ovarian steroids. Following the tissue loss and repair processes of menstruation, rising levels of estradiol initiate …
The cyclic expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by human endometrium has been suggested to play a role in the invasive process necessary to establish endometriosis. The ability of progesterone exposure to inhibit endometrial MMP-3…
Endometriosis is a benign, though aggressive, disease of the female reproductive tract that consists of endometrial stromal and epithelial cells growing at an extrauterine site. Although it is widely accepted that the majority of cases of e…
Environmental contaminants that are known to disrupt steroid action can influence the development of reproductive diseases. Our group has focused on whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin) can disrupt steroid regulation…
Surgical modalities such as electrosurgery and lasers have been used for many years to treat endometriosis. They are relatively unselective with wide scatter, however, leading to the potential for significant tissue damage and injury. As an…
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) was performed on 77 women with endometriosis in 92 cycles with or without concomitant laser therapy or electrofulguration of endometriosis. The pregnancy rates were 45% for laser cases, 25% for electrof…
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) was performed in 19 cycles on 15 couples whose infertility had proven resistant to other treatments. Indications included infertility associated with immunologic factors, seminal deficiencies, endometri…
