The objective of this study is to evaluate if medical treatment before assisted reproductive technology (ART) improves the results in infertile patients with adenomyosis. A literature search was performed with EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane. …

PURPOSE: There is several albeit not univocal evidence suggesting that ovarian reserve is not related to the chance of natural pregnancy, provided that the remnant follicular pool is sufficient to ensure regular menstrual cycles. Neverthele…

Background/Objectives: Adenomyosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the myometrium. Despite surgery being a valuable approach, medical options are considered as the first-line approach and hav…

Management options for ovarian endometriomas include expectant management, medical treatment, surgical treatment, in vitro fertilization (IVF), or a combination of the above. The choice of management depends on many clinical parameters that…

The second-to-four digit ratio (2D:4D) has been proposed as a marker of prenatal hormonal exposure. It is suggested that prenatal exposure to androgens results in a shorter 2D:4D ratio, whereas a prenatal oestrogenic environment results in …

Abstract Study question This study investigates a possible association between the second-to-four digit ratio and endometriosis. Summary answer There is an association between a higher 2D:4D ratio and the presence of endometriosis. What is …

The objective of this study is to determine whether dienogest therapy after endometriosis surgery reduces the risk of recurrence compared with placebo or alternative treatments (GnRH agonist, other progestins, and estro-progestins). The des…

Abstract Study question The present study was designed to better elucidate if endometriosis may affect follicologenesis and embryo development within a cycle of ovarian hyperstimulation for IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). Summary answer Endom…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease frequently associated with female infertility. The choice of treatment in case of endometriosis is one of the most discussed topics in Reproductive Medicine. The approach to the patient with endometriosis …

Objective Infertility is an increasingly frequent health condition, which may depend on female or male factors. Oxidative stress (OS), resulting from a disrupted balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protective antioxidants, aff…

Endometriosis, in spite of decades of research on the topic, remains a mysterious and elusive disease. Both in the fields of diagnosis and treatment, many issues remain unresolved, and the scientific community strives in trying to find univ…

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of medical treatment of ovarian endometriomas on cyst diameter, associated pain, and ovarian reserve as measured with antral follicle count (AFC) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). In t…

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic cystectomy on ovarian reserve by means of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serial measurements and to compare AMH values with the number of inadvertently removed follicles …

Ovarian endometriomas are frequently associated with female infertility. The choice of treatment in these cases is one of the most discussed topics in Reproductive Medicine, and the approach to the patient should be tailored based on differ…
