Deep infiltrating endometriosis: relation between severity of dysmenorrhoea and extent of disease.

Local upregulation of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 ion channels in rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis

Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) expressed mainly by primary sensory neurons function as major nociceptive integrators. They are also present on the rat endometrium in an oestrogen-regulated manner. TRPV1 is upregulated in peritoneal and ovarian endometriosis patients, but there is no information about TRPA1 and their pathophysi...

O-19: A Comparison of Pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Trans-Vaginal and Trans-Rectal Sonography with Laparoscopic Findings in The Diagnosis of Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis

Background The performance of TVS, TRS and MRI for the diagnosis of DIE have been separately reported in earlier studies. However, the three methods have not been concurrently compared in terms of their overall performance and classified results as per different anatomical locations of DIE lesions in a large study population. This study was an attempt to compare pelvic magnetic resonance imagin...

I-59: Diagnostic Accuracy of Physical Examination,Transvaginal Sonography, RectalEndoscopic Sonography, and Magnetic ResonanceImaging to Diagnose Deep InfiltratingEndometriosis

Background: To compare the value of physical examination, transvaginal sonography (TVS), rectal endoscopic sonography (RES), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of different locations of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Materials and Methods: Ninety-two consecutive patients with clinical evidence of pelvic endometriosis. Physical examination, TVS, RES, and MRI, perform...

Pregnancy Rate after First Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection-In Vitro Fertilisation Cycle in Patients with Endometriomawith or without Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis

[Endometriosis and pelvic pain: epidemiological evidence of the relationship and implications].

The relationship between chronic pelvic pain symptoms and endometriosis is unclear because painful symptoms are frequent in women without this pathology, and because asymptomatic forms of endometriosis exist. Our comprehensive review attempts to clarify the links between the characteristics of lesions and the semiology of chronic pelvic pain symptoms. Based on randomized trials against placebo,...
