The perception that hormonal contraception causes weight gain is a general belief that frequently hinders the initiation and continuation of effective family planning. This narrative review analyses data from Cochrane …
Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a systemic inflammatory condition associated with adverse cardiovascular events, yet glucose-lowering drug selection in this population is not evidence-based.
Endometriosis and major depressive disorder (MDD) pose significant global health burdens. Despite pathophysiological overlaps, existing epidemiological studies predominantly examine their unidirectional associations, often constrained by cross-sectional designs and small sample …
Endometriosis and PCOS are both leading causes of female infertility, each affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Both conditions markedly impair quality of life by affecting physical health, emotional …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, yet diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms are non-specific and definitive confirmation typically relies on invasive procedures. Composite indices …
Dyslipidaemia is related to endometriosis, but it is not known which lipid component is most relevant, and whether the observed correlation reflects the causal relationship. The relationship between triglycerides (TG) …
ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between the cardiometabolic index and the prevalence of endometriosis among reproductive-age women in the United States. This cross-sectional population-based study used data from …
Female reproductive disorders represent a major global health challenge. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, these conditions share core pathological mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix …
Inflammation is central to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related lipid ratios have been proposed as indicators of systemic metabolic inflammation, yet their associations with endometriosis status and ASRM …
The modified cardiometabolic index (MCMI), an integrated measure of visceral fat and lipid metabolism, has been widely applied in metabolic disease research. However, its relationship with endometriosis has not been …
