Our objective was to compare the severity of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in hospitalized women with and without endometriosis, and to assess whether deep endometriosis is associated with worse clinical …
Longitudinal studies suggest that diets encouraging higher intake of fruits and vegetables and lower intake of red meat are associated with a lower risk of laparoscopically-confirmed endometriosis. However, no studies …
The management of endometriomata remains a challenge, with current options associated with either high recurrence rates or significant reduction in ovarian reserve. Ethanol sclerotherapy has been suggested as a treatment …
Endometriosis may rarely present with atypical manifestations that closely mimic intra-abdominal malignancy or severe pelvic sepsis, resulting in significant diagnostic uncertainty. We present two contrasting cases of presumed severe endometriosis …
This matched comparative study investigates whether unoperated ovarian endometriomas (OMAs) influence the prevalence of tubal pathology as detected by hysterosalpingography (HSG) in infertile women. A total of 266 infertile women …
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely used in the …
Ureteral endometriosis is a rare form of urinary tract endometriosis that may cause silent ureteral obstruction and irreversible renal damage. Mixed intrinsic and extrinsic ureteral involvement is uncommon, and right-sided …

Background: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) following cesarean section (CS) is an increasingly recognized complication. Intramuscular involvement of the rectus abdominis and the management of associated fascial defects remain underreported. Methods: …
The causal role of established risk factors for premenstrual disorders (PMDs) remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causality for eight known-risk factors identified through a literature review. …
