Endometriomas can be managed through various approaches, including careful observation, medical suppressive therapy, or surgical intervention. Malignancy is rarely a concern in women of reproductive age, making pain relief and the managemen…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-related infertility and its treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been broadly researched. Yet, underlying mechanisms of infertility, particularly in the absence of tubal dysfunction, remain …

The commonly used 7 mm threshold for endometrial thickness in assisted reproductive technology lacks strong evidence and stems from outdated data. Recent studies show that live birth outcomes are comparable even with linings of less than 7 …

As a chronic inflammatory disease, endometriosis generates fibrosis and anatomic distortion, which add extra-challenges to assisted reproductive technology cycles and requires a personalized approach. Patients with endometriomas have signif…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in women who underwent up to two more euploid blastocyst transfers after three failures in the absence of another known factor that affects implantation? SUMMARY ANSWER: …

How endometriosis causes infertility, with the exception of tubal dysfunction caused by adhesions, is unclear. The inflammatory milieu in the pelvis and impaired receptivity of the eutopic endometrium are considered to be possible factors. …

Study questionWhat is the recommended management for couples presenting with unexplained infertility (UI), based on the best available evidence in the literature?Summary answerThe evidence-based guideline on UI makes 52 recommendations on t…

Endometriosis usually presents as cyclical pain in the pelvis but may also present as painful cutaneous lesions. Many diseases may mimic hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) since HS, a chronic inflammatory painful skin disease, is a clinical diag…

Purpose of review To discuss optimal management of an assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle in women with endometriosis. Recent findings New studies involving euploid embryo transfers provide more insight on the etiology of endometri…

Abstract Study question Does the presence of endometrioma during ovarian stimulation affect blastulation and clinical pregnancy rates (CPR)? Summary answer Blastulation rates were similar in women with endometrioma compared to women without…

Objective: To elucidate the prognostic factors for intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle cancellation in patients with endometriosis-related infertility. Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study and conducted at the Assisted Rep…

Objective: To elucidate the prognostic factor for IVF&ICSI cycle cancellation in patients with endometriosis related infertility Design & Setting The study was a retrospective cohort study and conducted at Uludag University School of Medici…

ObjectiveTo reveal the characteristics and prevalence of dysmenorrhea and Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) among college students and to investigate their impact on their academic performance.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study was c…

Endometrioma is the cystic lesion of ovaries originating from endometrial glands and stroma. This condition is present in 17 to 44% of endometriosis patients. The ovarian reserve is decreased in women with endometriomas, as compared to simi…

Dysbiosis in the genital tract or gut microbiome can be associated with endometriosis. We sampled vaginal, cervical and gut microbiota from 14 women with histology proven stage 3/4 endometriosis and 14 healthy controls. The V3 and V4 region…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether endometrioma is associated with a progressive decline in ovarian reserve, and to compare the rate of decline with natural decline in ovarian reserve.DesignProspective, observational study.SettingTertiary univers…

Gelatin-thrombin matrix (GTM) is a hemostatic sealant consisting of bovine-derived gelatin matrix and human-derived thrombin, combining both mechanical and active mechanisms to achieve hemostasis. It was approved by the Food and Drug Admini…

Whether endometriomas grow because of supraphysiological oestradiol levels attained during ovarian stimulation for assisted reproduction techniques is a concern. In this prospective study, 25 women with 28 endometriomas underwent three-dime…

Study question Are live birth rates (LBR) different after ART cycles between women with primary or recurrent endometrioma? Summary answer Women with recurrent endometrioma have similar LBR as compared to patients with primary endometrioma. …
