Chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs) are a subset of chronic pain conditions commonly comorbid with one another and more prevalent in women and individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB). Pain …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) share some epidemiological, clinical and pathogenetic features. A differential diagnosis between pelvic endometriosis and IBD may be challenging, even for expert clinicians. In …
Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition, afflicts reproductive-aged women. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a critical enzyme involved in cellular metabolism and …
Dienogest has been proven effective as long-term therapeutic option for pelvic pain caused by endometriosis. However, in Taiwan, there is a lack of a well-tailored consensus on its long-term administration. …
Chikusetsusaponin IVa (CHS IVa) as a natural extract from the Panax japonicus (T.Nees) C.A.Mey (P. japonicus), can regulate the immune responses, such as anti-inflammation, which have been applied in treating …
Endometrial disorders, such as infertility and endometriosis, significantly impact reproductive health, thus necessitating better models to study endometrial function. Current in vitro models fail to replicate the complexity of the …
Background/Objectives: Bowel endometriosis (BE) is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue within the muscular layer of the bowel wall. When BE does not result in the severe obstruction to …
Daily exposure to a mixture of phthalates is unavoidable in humans and poses a risk to reproductive health because they are known endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Specific to female reproductive health, the …
