Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition that can result in chronic pain through complex nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pathways. This article provides a comprehensive background on endometriosis as well as …
Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynaecological condition in women of reproductive age. Approximately 90% of cases are primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) which is not associated with underlying pathology. Dysmenorrhea can have …
Endometriosis is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory disorder that affects a substantial proportion of women during their reproductive years and is frequently associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Accumulating evidence suggests …
The first trimester (FT) of pregnancy is characterized by rapid placental growth and differentiation, rendering this period sensitive to maternal metabolic influences. Maternal obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation …
This study aimed to systematically assess the genetic comorbidity of endometriosis (EM) and its subtypes with menstrual-cycle-related traits, and to identify shared genetic mechanisms and key regulatory pathways underlying their …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-age women, causing pelvic pain and infertility. Its progression involves angiogenesis and neurovascular innervation, mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor …
The widespread use of plastic has led to exposure to chemicals like bisphenols (BPs), particularly bisphenol A (BPA), which are crucial in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. …
Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory gynecological disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissues, leading to dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility. Although the retrograde menstruation theory clarifies the …
Endometriosis affects a substantial proportion of women of reproductive age and is a common, often under-recognised contributor to subfertility. Its effects on fertility are multifactorial, and both the disease and …
Endometriosis and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) frequently coexist in women with chronic pelvic pain, yet overlapping symptoms and non-standardized diagnostic pathways often delay recognition of dual pathology. We propose …
