endometriosis is defined as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. it mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. this condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. we are reporting one case of scar endometriosis invol...

s:865:"We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Serum and peritoneal fluid levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in women with endometriosis" recently published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility (1). The authors measured the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in serum and peritoneal fluid of 179 women, 90 of whom were diagnosed with endometriosis, an...

Introduction: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder among women which is diagnosed by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of uterus and is mainly accompanied by severe pelvic pain and infertility. P53 also known as cellular tumor antigen P53 inside codons 11, 72 and 248 are contained with single nucleotide changes in which tends to be nearly rampant.This will probably b...

Background: The prevalence of endometriosis in the general population is estimated at 7-10%. Endometriosis is one of the causes of primary and secondary infertility in 30% of women. There are various risk factors for this disease. The present study aimed to determine the association between sexual activity during menstruation and endometriosis. Materials and Methods: This case-control study rec...

Endometriosis is a common condition that occurs in 6-10% of all reproductive age women. This number increases to approximately 40% in women with infertility and nearly 75% in women with complaints of chronic pelvic pain. Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. The most common complaints associated with endometriosis are dysmeno...

Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...

Background Endometriosis, defined by overgrowth of endometrial implants outside the uterine cavity, is commonly found on the ovaries. The role of exercise in this disease is not well understood. Regular exercise appears to have protective effects against endometriosis that involve inflammatory processes since it induces elevate systemic levels of inflammatory cytokines production with antioxida...

abstract background: increase in nitric oxide (no) concentration accompanied by alteration in peritoneal immune defense reactions is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. asymmetric dimethylarginine is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of no synthase. this study was designed to compare no metabolite (nitrite), asymmetric dimethylarginine, and estradiol concentrations in serum and per...

Chronic pelvic pain is a common debilitating condition affecting women and presents a major challenge to healthcare providers. Laparoscopy is the only test capable of diagnosing peritoneal endometriosis and adhesions. Gynaecologists have, therefore, seen it as an essential tool in the assessment of women with chronic pelvic pain. This article explores the role of surgery in the management of ch...
