Re: Association between kissing and retropositioned ovaries and severity of endometriosis: MR imaging evaluation
This study used MR imaging to evaluate the association between kissing and retropositioned ovaries and the severity of endometriosis.

This letter to the editor comments on a previous study investigating the association between kissing and retropositioned ovaries and endometriosis severity using MR imaging. The authors reference prior sonographic evidence establishing "kissing ovaries" as a sign of moderate to severe disease, while also citing broader reviews on non-invasive diagnostic modalities. The text serves primarily as a scholarly response rather than presenting new primary data or clinical trial results. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
