BACKGROUND: Prolonged menstrual cycles may indicate potential cardiometabolic conditions; however, there are limited data on how these associations vary among women without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between hysterectomy and accelerated aging, with a focus on the mediating effect of renal function and protective role of dietary fiber intake. METHODS: The cross-sectional study utilized data from…

BACKGROUND: Preimplantation embryos in vivo are exposed to various growth factors in the female reproductive tract that are absent in in vitro embryo culture media. Cell-free fat extract exerts antioxidant, anti-ageing, and ovarian function…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of hysterectomy performed via traditional inpatient procedure versus day-care procedure with a focus on surgical time, post-operative recovery, costs, and patient satisfaction, using propensity score match…

PURPOSE: Ovarian endometriosis, a prevalent condition in reproductive-age women, causes dysmenorrhea and infertility, significantly impairing quality of life. To date, there is no systematic description of ovarian endometriosis in the liter…

BACKGROUND: The interplay between gynaecological surgeries and arthritis pathogenesis remains poorly understood. This study offers new insights into potential health risks associated with post-hysterectomy. METHODS: The cross-sectional stu…

OBJECTIVE: Very few and conflicting data are available regarding the correlation between circulating carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and its components including albuminuria and a low estimated gl…

BACKGROUND: Among the POSEIDON criteria, group 3 and group 4 have an expected low prognosis. For those patients with inadequate ovary reserve, embryo accumulated from consecutive oocyte retrieval cycles for multiple frozen-thawed embryo tra…

OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is widely recognized for its advantages, including reduced postoperative pain and the absence of visible scarring. However, the anatomical specificity required for …

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the safety of Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in terms of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) concept for tubal pregnancy surgery and provide a detailed process of vNO…

BACKGROUND: Advances in minimally invasive surgery and the development of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) have favored the spread of day-surgery programs. Even though Vaginal natural orifice transvaginal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) i…

BACKGROUND: The basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) ratio is a useful predictor of ovarian response. In this study, we investigated whether the FSH/LH ratios during the entire controlled ovarian stimulation (CO…

BACKGROUND: Physicians need an appropriate embryo transfer strategy to address the challenge of reducing multiple birth rates, while maintaining the couples' live birth rate during assisted reproductive technology. METHODS: We included 10,…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficiency and validity of cessation of cetrorelix on trigger day during gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant)-controlled ovarian stimulation of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. METHODS: In thi…

BACKGROUND: Granulosa cells (GCs) in cumulus oophorus highly express follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), which is the most important mediator of both estradiol synthesis and oocyte maturation. Obese women have elevated free fatty …

GnRH antagonist negatively affects endometrial receptivity in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, however, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. To explore its target molecules, we studied endometria in the window phase of fixed GnRH a…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gastro-intestinal (GI) symptoms are often experienced by healthy women during menstruation. An increased frequency of GI symptoms during menses has also been reported in women with irritable bowel syndrome or inflammato…
