Background: Endometriosis and lipedema are chronic female-predominant disorders characterized by persistent pain that is frequently disproportionate to anatomical lesion burden. Although traditionally interpreted within distinct lesion-centered frameworks, both conditions exhibit …
Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about whether reported …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age as well as a notable …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 10% to 15% of reproductive-aged women. The urinary tract is the second most common extragenital site of endometriosis after the gastrointestinal tract, with …
The gut microbiota plays a crucial function in reproductive well-being and is vital for maintaining fundamental physiological balance. This article surveys the mutual relationships between the gut flora and the …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), particularly when involving the bowel, significantly impairs health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and gastrointestinal function. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and mid-term impact of …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows elsewhere in the body leading to a variety of symptoms including heavy and prolonged …
Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Although it typically presents within the pelvis, extragenital manifestations are well documented with gastrointestinal (GI) …
Surgery represents a primary treatment option in selected cases of bowel endometriosis (BE), particularly in patients with significant symptoms or those unresponsive to medical therapy, and effectively improves patients' quality …
Small bowel herniation through a Caesarean section wound is exceedingly rare and may present with erythema and induration clinically indistinguishable from superficial wound infection, risking dangerous diagnostic delay. A case …
