In order to estimate the impact of laparoscopic stripping of endometriomas on the ovarian follicular reserve, 43 normo-ovulatory women were studied by endocrine (anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), FSH, LH, inhibin B, oestradiol) and ultrasonogra…

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) are intra-ovarian signalling peptides that are important in follicle development and oocyte maturation. In the ovary, neurotrophin expression is regulated by gonadotroph…

Preliminary studies have shown that systemic beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (betaHCG) therapy alleviates endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain. The underlying mechanism, however, is completely unknown. This study has investigated th…

Endometriosis seems to be the result of a complex interaction between environmental factors and various genes. In this regard, the cytochrome subfamily 17 (CYP17) may play an important role by altering the biosynthesis of sex steroids. CYP2…

Infertility is a common problem presented by patients with endometriosis. At present, whichever treatment is chosen, half of patients with advanced stages of the disease will remain infertile afterwards. This observational study looked at t…

Although endometriosis is thought to be an environmental disorder initiated by dioxin exposure, this association is controversial. This study was performed to test the hypothesis that endometriosis occurs more often in women exposed to high…

Deep endometriosis is still a challenging disease in terms of diagnosis and treatment. About 10-12% of women of reproductive age will have a form of endometriosis. This can affect pelvic as well as extra pelvic locations. Risk of malignant …

The aetiology of endometriosis, a gynaecological disease defined by the histological presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, is still open to debate. Research has recently found evidence for endometriosis in hu…

Many theories have been proffered to explain the histogenesis of endometriosis (Robboy et al., 2009). Generally, they divide into those that favour transplantation of endometrial fragments to ectopic sites, metaplasia of the multipotential …
