Background: Endometriosis (EN) is known to be detrimental to fertility in many ways. Evidence drawn from oocyte recipient cycles suggests compromised oocyte quality in endometriosis. This retrospective case-control study aimed to evaluate e…
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are vital for oocyte development, yet the redox state of peritoneal fluid may differ between health and disease. This study investigates the effects of peritoneal fluid from women with and without endometriosis…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects 190 million women and those assigned female at birth worldwide. For some, it is associated with debilitating chronic pelvic pain. Diagnosis of endometriosis is often achieved through diagnostic laparoscopy.…
Abstract Study question What is the prevalence of other benign gynaecological conditions in women with endometriosis. Are women with endometriosis at a higher risk of these conditions? Summary answer Women with endometriosis are at a higher…
ABSTRACT: Endometriosis is a chronic and debilitating condition which can affect the entire reproductive life course of women with a potentially detrimental effect on pregnancy. Pregnancy (and increasing parity) can affect endometriosis by …
BACKGROUND: In vitro fertilisation is a widely used reproductive technique that can be undertaken with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The endometrial scratch procedure is an in vitro fertilisation 'add-on' that is sometimes pr…
Abstract Study question Does levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) improve post-operative outcomes for endometriosis when compared to other systemic hormonal treatments or no additional treatment? Summary answer We are unce…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis is known to be detrimental to fertility in many ways. Evidence drawn from studies on oocyte recipient cycles suggests that the oocyte quality of women with endometriosis is compromised. Research that speci…
BACKGROUND: Chronic pelvic pain affects 2-24% of women worldwide and evidence for medical treatments is scarce. Gabapentin is effective in treating some chronic pain conditions. We aimed to measure the efficacy and safety of gabapentin in w…
BACKGROUND: The reproductive impact of adenomyosis and endometriosis is widely researched but the extent of these impacts remains elusive. It has been demonstrated that endometriosis, in particular, is known to result in subfertility but en…
BACKGROUND: Chronic pelvic pain is a debilitating condition. It is unknown if there is a clinical phenotype for adhesive disorders. This study aimed to determine if the presence or absence, nature, severity and extent of adhesions correlate…
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects more than 1 million UK women with associated healthcare costs of £158 million annually. Current evidence supporting interventions when no underlying pathology is identified is very limited and treatment is …
INTRODUCTION: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects more than 1 million UK women with associated healthcare costs of £158 million annually. Current evidence supporting interventions when no underlying pathology is identified is very limited and…
INTRODUCTION: Endometrial trauma commonly known as endometrial scratch (ES) has been shown to improve pregnancy rates in women with a history of repeated implantation failure undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF), with or without intracyt…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects about 4% of women in the reproductive age and is associated with subfertility. The aim of the present study is to examine the integrated quantitative proteomic profile of eutopic endometrium and serum from …
Introduction: It is not uncommon for a woman to suffer from abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) or heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) at some point during her lifetime. Once pathology is excluded, in practice, management needs to be individualised,…
Objective: Postoperative adhesions occur in 80% of cases of gynecological surgery. Therefore evidence-based recommendations have been made to improve surgeons´ knowledge of postoperative adhesion formation and preventive strategies. The obj…
Endometriosis is an enigmatic disorder that is fraught with management controversies and very often, there exist deep divides in management strategies among the generalist, the specialist who favours surgery, the specialist who favours medi…
There is molecular evidence that endometriosis has a negative impact on the ovaries, although the exact pathophysiology concerning endometriosis-associated subfertility is not known. The negative impact on the tubo-ovarian unit can be direc…

Mouse oocytes respond to DNA damage by arresting in meiosis I through activity of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) and DNA Damage Response (DDR) pathways. It is currently not known if DNA damage is the primary trigger for arrest, or if…
