Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological disease, characterized by the growth of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus and by the presence of chronic inflammatory lesions. This condition is …
Diagnosing ovarian lesions is challenging because of their heterogeneous clinical presentations. Some benign ovarian conditions, such as endometriosis, can have features that mimic cancer. We use optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) …
The extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influences cell behavior, yet its properties in human endometrial lesions (HEL) and human uterine fibromas (HUF) are not well characterized. This study aimed to characterize …
This study aimed to compare clinical and ultrasound outcomes over 24 months in premenopausal women with ultrasound-diagnosed endometriosis/adenomyosis, never treated surgically, and managed with or without hormonal therapy. We specifically …
Endometriosis is a highly prevalent, chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue, driving significant morbidity and chronic pelvic pain. Pathologically, it is increasingly recognized as a …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of reproductive-aged women. Current therapies are predominantly hormone-based and offer symptomatic relief without correcting the immune dysregulation and inflammation …
Adenomyosis and endometriosis are estrogen-driven disorders with a recognized potential for malignant transformation, particularly through atypical endometriosis. The molecular and immune mechanisms underlying this progression remain incompletely understood. However, clinical …
Pain in endometriosis involves not only nociceptive but also neuropathic and neurogenic components, reflecting its complex nature. Histamine, a biogenic amine, has emerged as a critical mediator connecting inflammation and …
Urinary tract endometriosis (UTE) commonly presents with urinary urgency, frequency, retention, and hesitancy. Although surgical excision consistently improves storage symptoms postoperatively, voiding dysfunction often persists due to interactions between clearing …
