Endometriosis phenotypes and staging in relation to lipid biomarkers: Findings from the ENDO Cohort Study.

Endometriosis has been linked to cardiometabolic alterations, but whether these associations vary by disease severity or phenotype is unclear. We examined lipid profiles across endometriosis diagnosis, stage, and typology.

From Gynecological Endocrine Disorders to Cardiovascular Risk: Insights from Rat Models.

Gynecological endocrine disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis as well as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI)/premature ovarian failure (POF), significantly impact women's reproductive health and overall well-being. While these conditions …

The interplay between migraine, endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome: A systematic review.

BackgroundMigraine and gynecological conditions, such as endometriosis (EDM) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), are highly prevalent among females and appear to influence each other, with a potential shared pathophysiological mechanism. …

Microbiome analysis of the cystic fluid in ovarian endometrioma: new avenues for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease.

This study aimed to investigate the microbiome profile in the cystic fluid of ovarian endometrioma and explore its association with the microbial communities present in the lower and upper reproductive …

From Inflammation to Malignancy: The Link Between Endometriosis and Gynecological Cancers.

Endometriosis, a chronic estrogen-dependent disease, is associated with a risk of developing gynecological cancers. The mechanisms of this association remain unclear, but emerging evidence implicates key signaling pathways, including PI3K/AKT/mTOR …

Impact of Physical Activity on Ovarian Response: A Prospective Study Among In Vitro Fertilization Patients.

Introduction Scientific evidence has shown that regular physical activity (PA) is beneficial to health. However, no consensus has been reached on the association between PA and the success rates of …

Age-dependent variations in clinical features and operative time for endometriotic cysts.

Endometriosis with ovarian cysts is common in reproductive-age women and contributes to pain and infertility. The influence of age on clinical and surgical outcomes remains uncertain. This retrospective study analyzed …
