Endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common, multifactorial gynecological disorders shaped by endocrine imbalance, immune dysfunction, metabolic disruption, genetic susceptibility, and environmental exposures. Despite their major contribution to infertility …
Endometriosis affects a large number of women of reproductive age, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. It causes severe chronic pelvic pain, which is often misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, …
Neoplastic potential of endometriosis is well established, albeit rare, and endometriosis-associated neoplasms are frequently encountered in clinical practice.
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder affecting over 10% of women, but extrapelvic involvement - particularly within the inguinal canal and round ligament - is rare and often mimics common …
Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in endometriosis (Endo) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to explore gut microbial signatures in women with …
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with thoracic endometriosis and is exceptionally uncommon in adolescents. We report a 14-year-old girl with early menarche and heavy …
The LYSET gene encodes the LYSET transmembrane protein, which regulates lysosome biogenesis by activating the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) pathway. This is an autosomal recessive, ultrarare, and severe progressive skeletal dysplasia with …
Endometriosis remains an underdiagnosed gynecological condition due to the lack of validated non-invasive biomarkers. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum cancer antigen 125 …
