Background: The surgical management of chronic pelvic pain (CPP), particularly in endometriosis, often focuses on lesion excision or nerve decompression. However, persistent pain frequently occurs despite "anatomical perfection," suggesting central …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease presenting with debilitating symptoms strongly impacting patients' quality of life (QoL). Assessing QoL is crucial for understanding the full patient experience beyond clinical symptoms. …
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals implicated in reproductive dysfunction. Epidemiologic evidence examining their association with endometriosis remains inconsistent. Thus, we conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life, and is frequently associated with prolonged diagnostic delay and variable treatment response. Although advances …

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are chronic, debilitating, inflammatory conditions affecting women of reproductive age. Current management primarily focuses on pharmacologic therapies and surgical interventions; however, many individuals adopt self-directed lifestyle modifications …
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer comprises a special group of ovarian cancers that most probably originate from endometriosis foci. Several in vitro studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease with multifactorial pathogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the gut and reproductive tract microbiota may contribute to disease development, …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, which …
