Rectal endometriosis is among the most symptomatic forms of the disease. When hormonal therapy fails, surgery is often required. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is widely used in gynecology for the …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease associated with pelvic pain and dyspareunia that negatively affects sexual function. Physical rehabilitation programs have emerged as a non-pharmacological therapeutic alternative; however, evidence regarding …
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the evaluation of suspected gynecologic malignancies, providing high soft tissue contrast and multiparametric capabilities, including diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast …
Decisions about healthcare funding and delivery in Aotearoa New Zealand, as well as the monitoring of health service performance and outcomes, are driven by readily available data, in particular from …
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) encompasses a heterogeneous group of debilitating conditions including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), chronic abacterial prostatitis, endometriosis, and pelvic congestion syndrome, among others. Despite advances …
Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic gynecological disorder that affects 190 million women worldwide. Current treatments consist of hormonal suppression and surgical excision; however, both have considerable side effects and a …
Gynecological conditions including endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome and malignancies cause widespread chronic morbidity and infertility, yet translating genetic discoveries into biological mechanisms remains challenging. We propose a framework integrating …
Endometriosis is a debilitating, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by profound diagnostic delays due to clinical reliance on invasive laparoscopy. Developing noninvasive, point-of-care biomarker assessment remains a critical yet unmet medical …
Malignant transformation of endometriosis is rare and most commonly involves the ovary. Extraovarian transformation, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, is exceptional, and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) arising from intestinal endometriosis …
Early pregnancy bleeding is a common pregnancy complication, yet its genetic basis and potential links with psychiatric traits remain poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the shared genetic architecture …
