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 …
To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of vaginal ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) for ovarian endometriomas, with a focus on recurrence and subsequent fertility outcomes.
Endometriosis frequently involves the ovaries. Surgical management of endometriomas traditionally includes cystectomy, electrocoagulation, or ablative techniques. Ethanol sclerotherapy has emerged as a low-cost, time-efficient alternative. When performed laparoscopically, it allows …
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 …
Alcohol sclerotherapy has been shown to reduce endometrioma recurrence and improve ovarian response, including the number of retrieved oocytes and antral follicle count (AFC), compared with surgical cystectomy. This randomized …
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of concurrent transvaginal ovarian puncture for oocyte retrieval and ethanol sclerotherapy of ovarian endometriomas (eSCLT) during controlled ovarian stimulation.
The management of endometriomata remains a challenge, with current options associated with either high recurrence rates or significant reduction in ovarian reserve. Ethanol sclerotherapy has been suggested as a treatment …
Ultrasound-guided transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy belongs to one of the minimally invasive methods for endometrioma management. Nevertheless, some reports suggested a possible link between the method and the presence of pelvic …
The aim of this review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) for ovarian endometriomas, regarding the risk of recurrence, impact on ovarian reserve, and comparison …
Endometriosis affects a substantial proportion of women of reproductive age and is a common, often under-recognised contributor to subfertility. Its effects on fertility are multifactorial, and both the disease and …
