Endometriosis-associated pelvic pain represents a prototypical failure of systemic therapy for a locally organized, neuroinflammatory disease. Persistent pain arises from the convergence of estrogen-driven lesion survival, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and …
Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, yet non-hormonal therapeutic options remain limited. This study investigates the role of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis in endometriosis …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease including aberrant local steroidogenesis, inflammation, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and prostaglandin-mediated pain. Given the elevated adrenergic receptor expression in endometriotic lesions and the potential …
Growing evidence highlights the role of microbiota, including those of the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial tissue, as critical functional drivers in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed …
Adenomyosis is a prevalent disorder of the archimetra, historically conflated with endometriosis but possessing a unique pathobiological trajectory. This review synthesises current molecular evidence to propose a unified mechanistic framework …
Endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, and dysmenorrhea are major illnesses. Hormonal as well as non-hormonal treatments were evaluated for COCs, progestins, GnRH analogues, LNG-IUS, relugolix, and adjunctive therapies. These treatments resulted in …
Primary dysmenorrhea is painful menstruation in the absence of pelvic pathology, whereas secondary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain attributable to an underlying pelvic disease (e.g., endometriosis). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disorder associated with substantial diagnostic delay and limited therapeutic options, highlighting the need of robust non-invasive biomarkers and actionable molecular targets to complement existing …
The pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis may involve a complex combination of multiple factors, including chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Hormonal therapy, the current standard for pharmacotherapy in endometriosis, causes …
