OBJECTIVE: In a significant number of women diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), the underlying cause cannot be found. On the other hand, the ovarian reserve set prenatally has been shown to be affected by intrauterine nutrit…

OBJECTIVE: To explore work performance status in Spanish women with endometriosis and to identify those endometriosis-related symptoms that potentially contribute to the reduced work performance. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Sp…

OBJECTIVE: We examined the hypothesis that antibiotic treatment with or without gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) may decrease intrauterine infection with consequent decrease in tissue inflammation, cell proliferation and angio…

Malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is rare. The clinical characteristics and treatment of malignant transformation of AWE are not well known. Therefore, in this review, we performed a thorough search for malignan…

OBJECTIVE: To review the diagnostic accuracy and determine the optimum imaging modality for the detection of bladder deep endometriosis (DE) in women with a clinical suspicion of endometriosis. METHODS: A systematic review of studies publi…

OBJECTIVE: Pelvic floor pain, abdominal wall pain, and central nervous system pain amplification can be contributing factors in chronic pelvic pain (CPP), however; limited research has investigated the association of pelvic floor, abdominal…

OBJECTIVES: Endocrine drugs represent an important cornerstone of endometriosis therapy. Pharmaceutical alternatives with similar efficacy remain out of sight in the near future. Aim of this study is to investigate attitudes and perceptions…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecologic disease. Endometriotic cells survive in oxidative stress and hypoxic environments. The aim of this review is to reconsider new therapeutic strategies for endometriosis by focusing on estrog…
