Objective Uterine anomalies are associated with higher rate of infertility, spontaneous abortion, premature birth and endometriosis. We report our experience in 13 cases with uterine malformations and endometriosis. Methods The medical file…

Endometriosis, a disease of reproductive-age women, is defined by the identification of aberrant growth of endometrial glands or stroma in sites outside of the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is a spectrum of disease spanning from minimal dis…

Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, is a challenging condition associated with substantial morbidity. Management of endometriosis must be individualized according to the desired treatment outcome…

This chapter illustrates the different opinions regarding the pathophysiology and management of endometriosis-associated infertility. Pelvic inflammation due to endometriosis may cause adhesion formation and scarring, which leads to a disru…

Age, BMI, lifestyle, menstrual status and obstetric history can modulate the endocrine system and, therefore, have been hypothesised to play a role in in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) outcome. We designed a retrospective study, set in a medical…

CONTEXT: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity, causing pelvic pain and infertility in 10% of reproductive-aged women. It is unclear why ectopic endo…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. A leading cause of infertility, endometriosis has a prevalence of 0.5-5% in fertile and 25-40% in infertile women. …

Endometriosis is found in up to 60% of women with dysmenorrhea, 40-50% of reproductive age women with pelvic pain or deep dyspareunia, and 30-40% of women with infertility.1 Endometriosis is defined as the presence and proliferation of endo…

BACKGROUND: Ezrin protein and its activated form phospho-ezrin play a role in cell morphology, motility and adhesiveness. In this study, we hypothesized that these proteins play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis by promoting adhes…

Implantation is a complex process by which the embryo attaches to the endometrium. The human endometrium becomes receptive to the embryo during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle under the influence of steroid hormones and paracrine fa…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review discusses current diagnostic techniques for müllerian anomalies, reproductive outcome data, and management options in reproductive-age women. RECENT FINDINGS: Multiple retrospective studies have investigated r…

BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis who are treated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) have a lower pregnancy rate compared to women with tubal factor infertility. It has been suggested that the ad…

Human endometrium is a dynamic tissue under the influence of numerous hormones, growth factors, and cytokines interacting to maintain a balance of cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. We have previously demonstrated that several…
