Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, inflammatory gynaecological disorder defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, most frequently affecting the ovaries, peritoneum, and uterosacral ligaments. Despite its …
Endometriosis is frequently managed with hormonal suppression that can induce hypoestrogenism during a period when many patients are still accruing peak bone mass. This narrative review summarizes current clinical and …
BackgroundResearch has suggested that some gynecological conditions are associated with body image, disordered eating behaviors, and mental health concerns. This has been studied in polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis populations, …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is associated with chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, oestrogen-dependent growth, oxidative stress, altered steroid hormone metabolism, compromised epithelial barrier integrity, and the production of bioactive microbial metabolites. …
Body image disturbance is a commonly experienced psychological impact of endometriosis and other chronic pelvic pain (CPP) conditions (e.g., vulvodynia). This systematic review and meta-analysis of quantitative literature aimed to …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Its pathogenesis involves interactions between inflammatory, angiogenic, hormonal, oxidative stress-related, and cell survival-associated …
Women with endometriosis experience chronic cyclic pelvic pain (CCPP) or chronic persistent pelvic pain (CPPP), both of which may be incapacitating even after treatment. Emotional dysregulation in endometriosis impedes patient …
Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease in which immune dysregulation and oxidative stress contribute to pain and impaired quality of life. This study aimed to examine whether antioxidant and inflammatory …
To assess whether specific markers of oxidative stress and DNA damage are expressed at higher levels in primordial follicles of patients with endometriomas compared to age-matched controls.
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pain, fatigue, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Beyond its …
