BACKGROUND: Endometriosis may have a causal role in ectopic pregnancies. AIMS: To observe the prevalence and staging of endometriosis in women at the time of laparoscopic treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy. METHODS: Prospective observat…
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopy has often been considered a core part of the workup for pelvic pain. However, many of these laparoscopies find no pathology. AIMS: To evaluate the experiences of patients following laparoscopy for pelvic pain when t…
AIMS: To use the Delphi consensus methodology to establish standardized criteria for the histopathological diagnosis of adenomyosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between April and September 2024, a modified three-round Delphi consensus study was c…
Introduction: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common and variable condition often without standardised or effective treatment. A hysterectomy and/or oophorectomies alleviates CPP long term in some patients. Gonadotrophin releasing hormone an…
This editorial explores how adenomyosis is diagnosed and the evidence (and its quality) for a link with altered IVF outcomes.
RESEARCH QUESTION: Do different subtypes of superficial peritoneal endometriotic lesions exist, based on the presence and morphology of smooth muscle, collagen fibres and immune cell populations? DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study of 24 …
Abstract Study question What are the pregnancy outcomes for women with moderate or severe endometriosis who are trying to conceive? Summary answer Preliminary pregnancy rates in women with moderate/severe endometriosis are 11% for natural c…
BACKGROUND: Despite surgical and pharmacological interventions, endometriosis can recur. Reliable information regarding risk of recurrence following a first diagnosis is scant. The aim of this study was to examine clinical and survey data i…
INTRODUCTION: "Improvement in the most bothersome symptom" was recently selected as a core outcome for endometriosis intervention trials. This study aimed to explore the applicability of the construct of "symptom bother" in representing the…
INTRODUCTION: There is considerable variation in the types of symptoms experienced by people living with endometriosis, and it is unclear which symptoms impact people the most. This study aimed to identify the specific symptoms that are "mo…
Natural variability in menstrual cycle length, coupled with rapid changes in endometrial gene expression, makes it difficult to accurately define and compare different stages of the endometrial cycle. Here we develop and validate a method f…
Abstract Hysterectomy may impact young women’s perceptions of their gender identity and fertility status, with implications for quality of life. However, research into this important area is limited, particularly among women with benign dis…
Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified 42 genom…
Endometriosis, defined as the growth of hormonally responsive endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity, is an estrogen-dependent, chronic, pro-inflammatory disease that affects up to 11.4% of women of reproductive age and gende…
BACKGROUND: Central sensitisation (CS) leads to pain amplification and impacts on the management of pelvic pain (PP). Identification of CS in patients with PP may provide additional treatment pathways and improve patient outcomes. AIMS: Th…
OBJECTIVE: To prospectively compare long-term lower gastrointestinal function before and after laparoscopic surgery for deep endometriosis (DE). METHODS: In this prospective observational study we followed 149 patients with confirmed DE who…
Background To better understand the potential role of social media (SM) as a self‐management tool for individuals with endometriosis and to assess its current use by endometriosis patients. Aims The primary outcome was use of SM for health …
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign disorder defined by ectopic endometrial glands within the uterine myometrium. A study by Mooney et al reported the myometrial-cervical ratio (MCR), a novel ultrasound measurement that was found to improve…
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous disease in terms of patient symptoms, treatment responsiveness and the presentation of endometriotic lesions. This article explores the histological features of endometriotic lesions, highlighting their some…
