Emerging evidence implicates per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in adverse alterations to the follicular microenvironment, yet their potential contribution to diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) remains poorly characterized. This study…

Endometriosis is a complex, chronic inflammatory gynecological disorder with estrogen‑dependent characteristics that severely impairs the quality of life of women and potentially leads to infertility. However, its pathogenesis remains poorl…

AIM: Adenomyosis and endometriosis are gynecological conditions with overlapping symptoms but distinct pathologies. Both affect the women's reproductive system, but their interrelation and shared clinical pathways are underexplored. This st…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does frozen embryo transfer improve pregnancy outcomes compared with fresh embryo transfer in women with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) undergoing their first IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle? DESIGN: A retrospect…

BACKGROUND: The potential modifiable factors influencing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have not been thoroughly documented. We aimed to systematically investigate the modifiable factors associated with IBS, while accounting for the impact …

Central adiposity, measured by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), is a modifiable risk factor for female infertility, yet its causal role remain underexplored. Combining observational data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (N = 1…

BACKGROUND: Embryonic ploidy is critical for the success of embryo transfer. Currently, preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is the gold standard for detecting ploidy abnormalities. However, PGT-A has several inherent limi…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is characterized by endometrial fibrosis. S100A8/A9 plays an important role in inflammation and fibroblast activation. However, the role of S100A8/A9 in IUA remains unclear. In this study, we collect normal and I…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the cumulative outcomes and influencing factors of patients with discrepancies between age and Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in the early follicular phase prolonged protocol. METHODS: A total of 1282 cycles of i…

The well-known impact of ovarian endometriosis on female quality of life and the established role of lncRNA LINC01465 in ovarian cancer pathogenesis have been extensively documented; however, the relationship between LINC01465 and ovarian e…

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D plays an invaluable role in reproductive health, but vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are generally common among couples of childbearing age and pregnant women. This study aimed to evaluate the evolution, develop…

The duration of ovarian stimulation which is largely dependent on the ovarian response to hormonal stimulation may influence in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. Menstrual cycle length is potentially a good indicator of ovarian reserve an…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the perceived changes in sexual behaviour during COVID-19 lockdown, anxiety symptoms, and couple relationship of patients with infertility. METHODS: We performed an observational cross-sectional study b…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore whether the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination of both partners in infertile couples, different types of COVID-19 vaccines, and the interval between complete vaccination and oocyte retrieval or e…

BACKGROUND: Regardless of unique status or symptoms, any woman with endometriosis is at risk of developing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective psychological treatment for d…

In the present study, we investigated the potential of nitrite exposure to induce infertility in mice. Adult female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control and nitrite exposure groups. Subsequently, the rate of mouse infertility wa…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors of ectopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Reproductive Medical Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University fr…

The microorganisms of the reproductive tract have been implicated to affect in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. However, studies on the reproductive tract microbiota of infertile women are limited and the correlation between cervical mic…

BACKGROUND: With the development of embryo freezing and warming technology, frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) has been widely utilized. However, studies investigating the association between cryopreservation duration and FET outcomes are …

Abstract Purpose Ovarian endometroma seriously affects women's health, and is susceptible to recurrence after surgery. However, only a few studies have been conducted to asses the risk factors for postoperative recurrence of ovarian endomet…
