چکیده
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a complex disease that can result in substantial morbidity, including chronic pain, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. There are contradictory reports regarding the connection between acute and chronic stress and magnesium levels in body fluids. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A prospective study included 87 patients undergoing laparoscopy. The study group included 40 women with endometriosis and the control group consisted of 47 women with other causes of infertility. The levels of fright were determined using HAMA scale. The measurements of Mg levels were performed using biochemical analyzer "Monarch Plus". RESULTS One day before the operation, HAMA score was 9.54+/-7.34 in the women with endometriosis, and 6.69+/-5.51 in the women without endometriosis. The morning before the operation, HAMA score was 8.64 +/- 8.10 in the women with endometriosis, and 4.29+/-2.29 in the women without endometriosis. The second postoperative day, HAMA score was 8.96+/-7.60 in the women with endometriosis and 6.92+/-5.16 in the women without endometriosis. Higher HAMA score in the women with endometriosis, in comparison with the control group, in all three time periods has been found, but the differences were not statistically significant (p>0.05). A negative correlation between the concentration of Mg in peritoneal fluid and HAMA score was found in the control group (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS In infertile women without endometriosis a correlation between Mg concentration in peritoneal fluid and HAMA score was found. No such correlation was found in the women with endometriosis, possibly due to a systemic disorder in endometriosis that might affect Mg transport through the cell membrane.

SUMMARY Infertility has a special importance in gynecology in causing social, psychological and somatic prohlems. Endometriosis is a benign but progressive disorder in reproductive life and is more common in infertile women. CA 125 is a cell membrane glycoprotein. The endometrium is one the known source of this antigen and seems to be elevated in the pelvic endometriosis. In this study, from...

Background Despite a high prevalence of endometriosis, there still exist many challenges in diagnosing the disease. This study aims to evaluate non-invasive and practical diagnostic methods by measuring serum and peritoneal fluid CA 125 levels in patients with endometriosis. A secondary aim is to determine the correlation between these markers with the stage of disease as well as the relationsh...

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecological syndrom. Its etiology is still not fully understand .A great number of studies reported increase NO concentration, with altered peritoneal immune defence reaction, was involved in pathogenesis of endometriosis. Asymmetric Dimethylarginine is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of NO synthase. Elevated ADMA level is associated with reduced syst...
