• Based on demographic profile, menstrual pain and medication usage for menstrual pain, multivariable logistic regression analysis indicted that older age and women with low BMI were found to be possible high-risk factors for the imaging di…

This group was formed out of the conviction that endometriosis research has not progressed at a pace in proportion to disease severity and the negative impact on women's quality of life. Furthermore, advancement in our understanding of this…

ABSTRACT: Uterine adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition and may cause painful symptoms, abnormal uterine bleeding, and/or subfertility/infertility. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and …

The pathogenesis of endometriosis is a hotly debated topic, yet still cloaked in multiple layers of hypothetical theories. A recent report raises the possibility that bacterial infection, especially those of the genus Fusobacterium, may be …

AIM: We investigated the association between the length of anogenital distance (AGD) and intra-vaginal pH, an indicator of vaginal eubiosis or dysbiosis, in women with endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was performed includ…

Menstrual blood, containing high iron levels, can undergo retrograde transport into the abdominal cavity. Excess iron causes oxidative stress and inflammation. Iron metabolism is regulated by hepcidin, and serum hepcidin levels are increase…

BACKGROUND: It has been hypothesized that the origin of early-onset endometriosis could be from endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) in neonatal uterine blood (NUB). There is no information on the possible mechanistic basis linking an…

The aim of this review article was to summarize our current understanding on the etiologies and pathogenesis of human adenomyosis and to clarify the relative association between adenomyosis and infertility. The exact pathogenesis of adenomy…
