Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
The dynamics of peritoneal fluid has vital applications in various physiological functions, particularly in female reproductive physiology, which modulates the transport of gametes within the fallopian tubes. This research aims …
This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by ectopic lesions that disrupt endometrial decidualization, a process frequently accompanied by aberrant collagen deposition and closely linked to clinical infertility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key …
Maternal chronic conditions are implicated as risk factors for congenital anomalies, but few studies have assessed reproductive conditions such as endometriosis. Given the association between endometriosis and infertility requiring fertility …
Here, we report a case of catamenial pneumothorax that occurred during endometriosis treatment. A 46-year-old woman presented with a history of right pneumothorax. At 43 years of age, the patient …
To define and demonstrate a step-by-step surgical anatomical approach to pudendal nerve dissection using female cadavers, focusing on the identification of safe roadmap and key neurovascular structures to optimize pelvic …
The link between endometriosis and other medical conditions is gaining attention. Such insights could enhance clinical approaches to manage the disease and potentially reveal new, unrecognized mechanisms of its development. …
The human endometrium is a complex, dynamic and poorly understood tissue involving monthly cyclical regeneration likely from adult stem/progenitor cells. This regeneration is associated with reproductive pathologies, such as endometriosis …
