Psychosocial Factors and Disease Localization as Independent Predictors of Sexual Dysfunction in Women with Endometriosis.

Background: This study examines the impact of endometriosis on sexual function, focusing on disease localization, pain severity, and psychosocial factors. It integrates the rASRM and Enzian classification systems to explore …

[Diagnostic value of ultrasonic endoscopy in colorectal endometriosis].

Effect of kisspeptin, neurokinin, and dynorphin neurons on regulation of reproduction.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulsatility is under the influence of hypothalamic neuropeptides, especially neurons expressing kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin. These hypothalamic cells are called KNDy neurons. By integrating hormonal and environmental …

Exosomes from miR-149-3p-transfected menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate inflammation and migration of endometriosis cells.

Endometriosis carries remarkable social, public health, and financial consequences. Based on two theories of retrograde menstruation and stem cells, menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) play a significant role in endometriosis …

Lactate-mediated immune suppression and MDSC expansion in endometriosis: Mechanisms and nanoparticle-targeted therapies.

Endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, is associated with severe pelvic pain, infertility, and profound immune dysregulation. Despite advances in hormonal therapy and …

Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging findings with and without intravenous contrast in women with pelvic endometriosis: A cross-sectional study.

Endometriosis is a common disease of the female genital system. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best non-invasive diagnostic method for evaluating endometriosis.

Rapamycin improves endometriosis‑related infertility involving ovarian senescence via the PPARα/IGFBP2 pathway.

Endometriosis‑associated infertility is considered to be linked to cellular senescence. The present study assessed whether rapamycin, a senescence inhibitor, ameliorates endometriosis‑associated infertility by upregulating peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor α (PPARα) and …

Painful Sexual poSiTions in endometriosis patients (the PSST! Study): a prospective cohort study.

Dyspareunia is a common symptom in women with endometriosis, yet its positional dependency is not routinely assessed in clinical practice.

From Gut to Reproductive Health: Exploring Microbiome Interactions and Future Interventions.

Recent advances in microbiome research have illuminated the complex bidirectional interactions between gut health and reproductive well-being. Understanding the gut microbiome's influence on the reproductive system and vice versa reveals …

Circulating inflammatory biomarkers and endometriosis lesion characteristics in the WisE consortium.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inflammatory biomarkers, …
