Endometriosis profoundly impairs sexual function in women. Despite evidence supporting motivational interviewing (MI) and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) separately, no study has directly compared these two approaches on sexual function…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis has potential negative effects on the fertility, mental, and sexual health of women. Since the conducted studies have not comprehensively addressed the needs and strategies to improve sexual health, and to design t…

PURPOSE: Numerous systematic reviews have examined the non-genetic factors associated with the risk of miscarriage. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct an umbrella review on non-genetic factors associated with the risk of miscarriage. M…

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease that involves various cellular processes. Additionally, miRNAs play a crucial role in the development of the disease as an important component of the microenvironment. In this study, tiss…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a multifocal gynecologic disorder during the fertility period in women. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic modality for this disease and can either be used alone or along with transvagin…

Introduction: The growth of endometrial tissue beyond the uterine cavity characterizes endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease. IL-17A, along with other immune mediators and a myriad of immune cells including Th17 lymphocytes and macr…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is defined as the existence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. This disease is responsible for about 15% of the indications for assisted reproductive technologies (ART). MATERIALS AND MET…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis characterized with existence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Fibrosis of ectopic lesions is an important feature of endometriosis. IL-4 induces fibrosis via fibroblast proliferation, collagen product…

BACKGROUND: The association of the fetal MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphism and neural tube defects (NTDs) susceptibility has been widely demonstrated, but the results remain inconclusive. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to investigat…

Background MTHFR gene may be a key epigenetic regulation-related factor crucial during embryogenesis. We performed a meta-analysis to determine the association of fetal MTHFR C677T polymorphism with neural tube defects (NTDs).Methods A comp…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition with a substantial economic burden on society. It is known that both genetic and environmental factors are contributing to the phenotypic development of the disease. MicroRNAs ha…

Background: Endometriosis, a prevalent multifactorial condition, has a different effect on mental and physical health in women. MicroRNAs have been reported as a main epigenetic factor in endometriosis pathogenesis. However, the role of miR…

Endometriosis is a chronic and relatively common disease in women of childbearing age. Complications of this disease include a wide range of disorders. The cause of this disease is not known for sure, but several hypotheses have been propos…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic and relatively common disease in women of childbearing age. Complications of this disease include a wide range of disorders. The cause of this disease is not known for sure, but several hypotheses have…

BACKGROUND: The association of polymorphisms at nitric oxide synthases (eNOS) gene with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) susceptibility has been the focus of attention in several studies. However, the conclusions have been divergent and contr…

BACKGROUND: In spite of substantial declines in both incidence and mortality rates in the past 50 years, cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer associated mortality among women globally. We performed this meta-analysis …

The associations of ACE I/D and PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in Iranian women have yielded controversial results. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to obtain more certain results. A comprehensive literature…

BackgroundInsulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) has a prominent role in fetal growth and development. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of IGF-II Apa1 and MspI polymorphisms with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR…

BackgroundPrimary studies have shown that the IL-12B rs3212227 and IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer. However, conflicting results warrant a meta-analysis to obtain more precise estimates.…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is generally considered as a benign condition; however, there is a possibility for it to become cancerous. miR-125b is upregulated in both endometriotic tissues and serum samples of women with endometriosis but its…

BACKGROUND: Asherman's syndrome (AS) is a rare reproductive abnormality, resulting in endometrial collapse due to aggressive or recurrent endometritis and/or curettage. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of using platelet-rich…

Endometriosis is an extremely heterogeneous disease and affects about ten percent of the female population during their reproductive years. Recent studies showed that endometriosis is an angiogenesis-dependent disease. Peritoneal macrophage…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare ovarian reserve between laparoscopic suturing and bipolar coagulation techniques in women with unilateral endometrioma. METHODS: In a prospective randomized clinical trial, 109 patients with unilateral …
