Does a natural cycle result in higher clinical pregnancy rates (CPR) with foetal heartbeat compared to an artificial cycle for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) preparation in ovulatory women?
Introduction Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility and affects reproductive outcomes through multiple mechanisms, including pelvic adhesions, altered pelvic anatomy, and inflammatory changes. The Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) was …
Diagnosis of acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease continues to be a challenge despite advances in investigative procedures. Complications of PID include infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancy. Currently, …
The female reproductive tract (FRT), particularly the vagina, has traditionally been regarded as a sterile environment. However, it is now recognized that the vagina is a complex, dynamic ecosystem dominated …
Background Fallopian tube pathology accounts for approximately one-third of female factor subfertility. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Fertility Guidelines (CG156) recommend hysterosalpingography (HSG) as the first-line …
To evaluate whether pre-conception surgery for deep endometriosis (DE) is associated with obstetric outcomes compared with conservative management.
Female reproductive tissues repeatedly undergo controlled inflammation, immune adaptation, and tissue repair. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) sit at the center of these processes, but …
Background/Objectives: This study evaluates the 1-year follow-up outcomes after minimally invasive nerve-sparing surgery for the complete excision of deep endometriosis (DE), with a specific focus on deep dyspareunia. Cases with …
Background: Endometriosis affects 10-15% of reproductive-aged women and is a leading cause of infertility through anatomical, inflammatory, and molecular mechanisms. Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathophysiology of …
Background/Objectives: Endometrial B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) overexpression has been proposed as a marker of progesterone resistance, occult endometriosis, and endometrial dysfunction in infertile women. Its possible association with reproductive outcomes …
