The aim was to explore the lived experiences of women diagnosed with endometriosis and receiving care in Spain to understand its impact across multiple areas of their lives. This qualitative …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and altered hormone metabolism. Although gut microbiota-derived metabolites have been implicated in shaping immune microenvironments and lesion development, the …
Environmental microbiological monitoring is mandatory in IVF laboratories; however, procedure-specific risk assessment across the entire medically assisted reproduction workflow remains limited. This multicenter study, named "SMILE" (Study of Environmental Microbiological …
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 …
Rural, regional and remote (henceforth 'rural') communities face unique health challenges, including limited access to health care, workforce shortages, and higher disease burden. Consumer and community involvement is essential for …
Gynecological conditions including endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome and malignancies cause widespread chronic morbidity and infertility, yet translating genetic discoveries into biological mechanisms remains challenging. We propose a framework integrating …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, often causing chronic pain, infertility, and systemic inflammation. Accurate detection and complete surgical resection remain challenging because …
This paper critically evaluates Sekiguchi et al.'s study of vaginal progesterone dose, serum progesterone thresholds, and reproductive outcomes in hormone replacement therapy frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles. The study conflates …
Endometriosis is frequently managed with hormonal suppression that can induce hypoestrogenism during a period when many patients are still accruing peak bone mass. This narrative review summarizes current clinical and …
Background: This review aims to systematically summarize the lineage origins, subtype classification, and functional dynamics of endometrial macrophages, clarify their mechanisms of action in normal reproductive physiology (menstrual cycle, pregnancy) …
