Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to pain and infertility. Recent research has highlighted the important role of the …
Global fertility rates continue to decline despite advancements in assisted reproductive technologies, highlighting a significant gap in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying preconception physiology. In this commentary, we review …
Aim: The aim of the study was to synthesize validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with endometriosis and to outline their clinical …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-aged women, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation. The exact cause remains unknown, though genetic and epigenetic factors are increasingly …
The effects of current treatment options for endometrioma on ovarian reserve remain controversial. Recent advancements in surgical techniques may challenge the previously established evidence regarding the detrimental effects of surgery …
Dysmenorrhoea affects many adolescents and often goes untreated for various sociocultural reasons. Dysmenorrhoea frequently co-occurs with other chronic pain conditions, and adult women with dysmenorrhoea have greater sensory sensitivity compared …
