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 …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) has been implicated in immune dysregulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis. Data on baseline secretion of TGF-β isoforms …
Background: Current endometriosis classification systems have important limitations in accurately describing total disease burden and predicting clinical outcomes. Existing staging frameworks often fail to integrate adenomyosis and do not adequately …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a heterogeneous clinical presentation, in which pain represents the predominant symptom. The association between pain severity and intraoperative disease stage remains unclear, …
This study aims to explore the application value of stromal cell-derived factor (CXCL12), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in the diagnosis, staging, and clinical manifestations …
Inflammation is central to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related lipid ratios have been proposed as indicators of systemic metabolic inflammation, yet their associations with endometriosis status and ASRM …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Diagnostic delays are common due to nonspecific symptoms …
