The mainstay of treatment for endometriosis is hormonal therapy, which suppresses ovulation; therefore, patients cannot conceive during treatment. There is a dilemma with ovarian-sparing surgery, known as laparoscopic cystectomy, as …
In endometriosis, the tissues similar to the endometrial tissue attaches outside the uterine cavity, causing inflammation and fibrosis. The retrograde menstruation theory is the most plausible mechanism, though the detailed …
The aim of the study was to determine the expression pattern of long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) mRNA in cumulus cells (CCs) isolated from metaphase II oocytes of women with unilateral …
Endometriosis is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease that occurs in approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, resulting in a decreased quality of life due to dysmenorrhea, chronic pain, and …
