Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates the systemic and …
In women with unilateral endometriosis, how do ovarian endometriomas and their inflammatory content affect oocyte and embryo quality in affected versus healthy ovaries, and what is the impact on ART …
Fertility preservation options, including cryopreservation of oocytes, embryos, and ovarian tissue, were initially focused on women undergoing gonadotoxic chemotherapy for oncologic treatment. The indications have expanded to include nonmalignant conditions …
Background/Objectives: The scientific community is still divided between supporters of the implantation theory and researchers who advocate the theory of coelomic metaplasia/embryonic cell remnants to explain the initiation of endometriosis. …
Symptoms of endometriosis are often incompletely managed and recurrent surgeries are commonplace. The impact of re-operation on fertility remains unclear. This systematic review compares fertility outcomes in patients who underwent …
Müllerian anomalies complicated by extrapelvic endometriosis are uncommon, and herniation of Müllerian remnants into the inguinal canal is exceptionally rare. These complex presentations pose significant diagnostic challenges arising from intricate …
The hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) family participates in key physiological processes such as follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and embryo implantation by regulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and plays …
Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) are essential regulators for endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Their expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. However, the relationship between …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …
Spontaneous uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus is a rare but life-threatening obstetric emergency, and endometriosis has increasingly been recognized as a potential risk factor. We report a 33-year-old primigravid …
