Endometriosis is a chronic, oestrogen-dependent inflammatory condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, frequently associated with chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea and infertility, substantially impairing quality of life. While …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This study aimed to identify EDC-responsive genes contributing to endometriosis risk by integrating …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a diverse, comprehensive group of mostly synthetic chemicals that disrupt many physiological functions in humans and animals. EDCs are particularly disruptive to the female reproductive system. …
Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial cells, leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Epidemiological studies have associated exposure to dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), …
This FIGO committee opinion paper addresses the growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to common gynecologic and reproductive conditions across the life course. From adolescence through menopause, women are …
Background Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic proliferation of endometrial cells, resulting in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been implicated in …
Endometriosis (EMS) significantly impacts women's health and is influenced by genetic factors and environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with hormonal balance. Using the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we identified …
Endometriosis is a debilitating condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pain and inflammation. While its etiology remains complex, emerging evidence implicates environmental …
Daily exposure to a mixture of phthalates is unavoidable in humans and poses a risk to reproductive health because they are known endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Specific to female reproductive health, the …
Non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are of significant concern due to their reproductive toxicity. Previous research reported a relationship between a single type of EDCs and endometriosis. Yet, evidence regarding mixed …
