Filter by:Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) represents the most severe form of endometriosis and is present in 20-35% of all women suffering from the disease. Intestinal nodules are observed in 3% to 37% of endometriosis patients. In cases of colorectal DIE, adequate therapy depends on the depth of infiltration and the size of the lesion as well as the woman's quality of life. Removal of the specimen after segmental bowel resection can be performed by either mini-laparotomy or by the natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) technique . The assessment of the quality of life and fertility outcome of the patients was done by using electronic questionnaires before and after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to understand why some women are infertile (unable to conceive a child). The investigators hope to learn if an endometrial biopsy after egg retrieval is feasible for detecting biomarkers for endometriosis and predicting implantation and pregnancy rate after embryo transfer. This study design will provide for the first time, an opportunity to compare endometrial biopsy material from hyperstimulated (gonadotropin treated) subjects after egg retrieval. If successful, it would provide a new protocol for women with unexplained infertility or those with known endometriosis to avoid poor IVF outcomes.
Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting women of reproductive age. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is one of non-invasive blood biomarker that was detected in sera of endometriotic patients.The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor in diagnosing endometriosis in women with infertility and chronic pelvic pain and correlate its level with the stage of the disease. Three hundred patient candidate for diagnostic laparoscopy were included in a case-control observational study
Based on the EHP-30 questionnaire, the pain score and general well-being of all patients will be assessed with and without taking a specialized nutraceutical. These patients will be taking continuous oral contraception, for 3 months before inclusion till at least end of the study or not taking any oral contraception at all during the study due to contraindication(s).
Endometriosis is a chronic, incurable condition that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age. It is defined as a growth of cells similar to the womb lining outside of the womb in the pelvis, and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, excessive period pain, pain with sexual intercourse and difficulties in getting pregnant. If the disease is found only on the lining of the pelvis it is known as "superficial peritoneal" and is usually treated during a laparoscopic surgery by cutting out (excision) or burning off (ablation). However, many women do not find improvement in their symptoms after the surgery and can have complications from the procedure. The aim of this study is to determine if removal of the superficial peritoneal endometriosis improves pain symptoms and quality of life, which method of removal (excision or ablation) is more effective or if surgical removal is of no benefit to the patients and can potentially cause harm. The investigators plan to recruit up to 90 women from four NHS hospitals in Scotland over a period of 12 months. Women who are attending gynaecology departments with pelvic pain who have not previously had a diagnosis of endometriosis via laparoscopy will be approached. Patients will be asked to read an information sheet about the trial. Women who consent to the trial will be randomised during the surgery, if superficial endometriosis is found, to either having the endometriosis removed or not. For this pilot, follow up will be at 3 and 6 months (and obtain permission to continue to follow them up at 12 and 24 months should time and finding permit). Patients who do not consent to take part in the trial will be asked if the investigators can collect data on their demographics and reasons on why they did not wish to take part.
The objective of this study is to evaluate real-world effectiveness of elagolix in Canadian women with endometriosis.
The study will describe the effectiveness of ovarian stimulation in correlation with female infertility causes in a Lebanese population: a comparative study using 5 protocols of ovulation induction (treatment with "A" gonadotropins alone, "B" short GnRH agonist, "C" multiple-dose GnRH antagonist, "D" long GnRH agonist and "E" combined protocol of GnRH antagonist and agonist) and the outcomes of ICSI. This comparative study will help clinicians to select the relevant protocol of ovarian stimulation related to the female infertility disorders.
This is a retrospective cohort study that evaluates the postoperative pain findings of a consecutive series of laparoscopic surgeries for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).
In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PTEN-AKT-FOXO3 gene expression and decrease in ovarian reserve in the presence of endometrioma and other benign ovarian pathologies.
The project investigates the situation of patients with chronic pelvic and chronic belly pain before and after our group therapy.
