Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a heterogeneous condition in which visceral, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and pain-processing contributors often overlap. Pelvic floor ultrasound can depict morphology and movement, but its CPP-specific evidence …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pelvic pain, infertility, repeated treatment, and impaired quality of life. Thyroid dysfunction and thyroid autoimmunity are also common in reproductive-aged women and …
Endometriosis is frequently associated with infertility and postoperative recurrence, and fertility-sparing surgery may be considered when symptoms, endometriomas, adhesions, or deep infiltrating disease are unlikely to be adequately managed with …

It is critical that women undertaking medically assisted reproductive (MAR) treatment and their clinicians know whether the treatments are associated with an increased risk of hormone-related cancers.
Women remain underrepresented in clinical drug development despite their unique biological characteristics and growing disease burden. In China, this disparity is particularly concerning given the rising incidence of gynecologic conditions …
Human fertility has declined sharply since 1950, and a growing body of evidence suggests that while conventional socioeconomic factors are well-established drivers of the broader demographic transition, they do not …
