Beyond Retrograde Menstruation: New Research Links Endometriosis to Immune Dysfunction and Stem Cells Medical Dialogues
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are common gynecologic disorders associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. Although they share several molecular features, the mechanisms by which endometrium-derived tissues develop distinct pathological …
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in women, yet sex-specific risk factors are usually not included in conventional predictive models. Specifically, heart failure (HF) in women may …
To evaluate central arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and circulating vascular biomarkers in women with ovarian endometriosis and to explore their associations compared with age-matched controls.
Background: Endometriosis and lipedema are chronic female-predominant disorders characterized by persistent pain that is frequently disproportionate to anatomical lesion burden. Although traditionally interpreted within distinct lesion-centered frameworks, both conditions exhibit …
Aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, has been implicated in multiple toxicities. However, its potential reproductive toxicity mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the underlying relationship between aspartame …
Microvascular thromboinflammation is a pervasive yet under-recognized driver of multisystem morbidity that links focal endothelial injury to distal organ dysfunction through interacting cellular and plasmatic networks. Contemporary paradigms remain fragmented: …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age, remains a leading cause of female subfertility. While current management strategies focus on surgical excision and hormonal suppression, …
Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a chronic systemic disorder extending beyond the classical estrogen-dependent paradigm, integrating metabolic, immune, fibrotic, and nociceptive pathways that sustain lesion persistence and refractory pelvic pain. …
