Gender affirming hormone therapy may be used to relieve dysphoria among transgender or gender-diverse individuals. However, the long-term effects of these treatments on reproductive health remain uncertain. Before initiating hormone therapy…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to conduct a qualitative investigation to provide a deeper understanding of women's views about endometriosis, fertility and their perception of reproductive options. METHODS: Semi-structured inte…

OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to study fertility issues, attitudes towards reproductive techniques and fertility preservation options in women of reproductive age with endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: In 2018 we conducted a web-based survey on fertil…

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH) levels correlate with the size of ovarian endometrioma (OMA). DESIGN: An observational cross-sectional study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Two hundred and sixty…

Sexual dysfunctions, particularly sexual pain, are common in adult women of all ages. In patients with endometriosis, a chronic gynecological pain condition affecting women of reproductive age, sexual pain is the third most common symptom. …

Endometriosis-associated pelvic pain is a major health concern in women of childbearing age. Controlled studies have shown that endometriosis can adversely affect women and their partners' general psychological well-being, relationship adju…

Endometriosis, a hormone-dependant condition affecting around 10% of women in their reproductive years, has frequent consequences on fertility. Indeed, a proportion of women will require assisted reproductive techniques or surgery in order …

Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent inflammatory disease that is usually characterized by infertility and pain symptoms. This disease mainly occurs during the reproductive years and is rarely diagnosed after menopause. We discuss the physi…

STUDY QUESTION: What is the relationship between endometriosis phenotypes superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometrioma (OMA), deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and the adenomyosis appearance by magnetic resonance ima…

We investigated whether serum osteopontin (OPN) levels are different according to specific phenotypes of adenomyosis and endometriosis. We conducted a prospective laboratory study in a university referral center for endometriosis between Ma…

We investigated whether the myometrium might be intrinsically different in women with adenomyosis. We studied whether the mitogen-activated protein kinases/extracellular signal-regulated kinases (MAPKs/ERKs) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/ma…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) levels are increased in women with endometriosis, especially in those with endometriomas (OMAs), deep infiltrating lesions (DIE), and superficial endometriosis (SUP) compared…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease of unknown etiology that affects approximately 10% of women in reproductive age. Several evidences show that endometriosis lesions are associated to hormonal imbalance, including estrogen synthesis, metabo…

INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis, characterized by the infiltration of the myometrium by ectopic endometrial islets, is a common condition that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. Different treatment options exist, incl…

Endocrine disorders play a major role in approximately 8% to 12% of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Indeed, the local hormonal milieu is crucial in both embryo attachment and early pregnancy. Endocrine abnormalities, including thyroid disor…

Endocrine disorders contribute to the pathology of approximately 8% to 12% of recurrent pregnancy losses. Because embryo attachment and early implantation are controlled by the local hormonal milieu, endocrine-related pregnancy failures are…

OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of endometriosis is associated with an inflammatory process. Here, we assessed if the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in serum could constitute an effective method for detecting systemic in…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a common disease that causes pain symptoms and/or infertility in women in their reproductive years. The disease is characterised by the presence of endometrium-like tissue - glands and stroma - outside the ute…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-10 family ILs in women with ovarian endometriosis and investigate the correlation of these levels with disease activity. DESIGN: A case-control laboratory study. SETTING: Tertia…
