Molecular and cellular aspects of endometrial receptivity. (1/1690)

Endocrine and paracrine controls regulate the endometrium during the luteal phase of the cycle to permit implantation. Part of this differentiation process is the production of a specific secretion which fills the intrauterine cavity and glandular lumen. Its molecular composition originates from the gland secretion, from transudations from stroma, from the endometrial blood vessels, and last, but not least, from cellular components of apoptotic and exfoliated cells. We have studied the secretions of all phases during the menstrual cycle using patterns evaluated by SDS-PAGE, by laser densitometry or Western blots. Uterine secretion electrophoresis (USE) permits detailed analyses of the intrauterine micromilieu and allows clinical assessment of the receptive stage of endometrium during the luteal phase. Several individual protein bands have been defined as characteristic markers for such receptive pattern. We have isolated and identified the molecular structure of several of these proteins, e.g. histones, cyclophilin, transthyretin, haptoglobin and uteroglobin. Investigations on the endocrine regulation of these proteins, were carried out on the uterine secretions of patients treated with progesterone antagonists (mifepristone and onapristone). The results demonstrate how progesterone-dependent components produce a receptive pattern, which can serve as a useful and precise marker in the clinical diagnosis of the luteal phase. Essential progesterone-dependent components differentiating during the luteal phase may provide new targets for contraceptive interventions by preventing the physiological changes typical of receptivity.  (+info)

Decreased apoptosis and sensitivity to macrophage mediated cytolysis of endometrial cells in endometriosis. (2/1690)

Ectopic dissemination of endometrial cells and their subsequent implantation are the mechanisms involved in the development of endometriosis. While the process of dissemination appears to be a phenomenon common to all women, it is unknown what facilitates or prevents ectopic implantation of misplaced endometrial cells. Prior studies by our group and others suggest that cell-mediated immunity in patients with endometriosis is decreased. The present studies evaluated (i) peripheral blood monocyte (PBM) and peritoneal macrophage (PM) mediated cytolysis of autologous eutopic and ectopic endometrial cells and (ii) programmed cell death (apoptosis) in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium. PBM-mediated cytolysis was (mean+/-SD) 23.1+/-13% for the eutopic and 7.8+/-% for the ectopic endometrium (P < 0.004), while the corresponding percentages for PM-mediated cytolysis were 5.4+/-7 and 0.3+/-1 respectively (P < 0.04). This indicates that PBM are much more effective than PM in inducing cytolysis of both eutopic and ectopic endometrium and that ectopic endometrial cells are significantly more resistant to both PBM- and PM-mediated cytolysis. The apoptosis was significantly decreased in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis as compared to fertile controls (0.375+/-0.17 versus 1.57+/-0.3, P < 0.0001). Furthermore, in matched samples apoptosis was significantly lower in the ectopic (0.149+/-0.075) than eutopic (0.375+/-0.17) endometrium (P < 0.001). We conclude from these studies that the decrease in the capacity of monocytes to mediate cytolysis of the misplaced endometrial cells in the peritoneal locations and an increased resistance of these cells to apoptosis are fundamental to the aetiology and/or pathophysiology of endometriosis.  (+info)

Phenotypic and functional studies of leukocytes in human endometrium and endometriosis. (3/1690)

The aetiology of endometriosis, a common and disabling disorder, is presently unknown, although immune dysfunction could allow ectopic endometrial fragments to survive outside the uterine cavity. These studies investigate the relationship between leukocyte populations, steroid hormone receptor expression, proliferative activity, bcl-2 expression and apoptosis in eutopic and ectopic endometrium from women with endometriosis or adenomyosis at different phases of the menstrual cycle. Significantly increased oestrogen receptor expression, bcl-2 expression and numbers of CD8+ leukocytes were found in ectopic compared with eutopic endometrium in endometriosis, and CD56+ endometrial granulated lymphocytes (eGLs) were significantly reduced in ectopic endometrium. Apoptotic cells were rarely found in control and subject endometria. In contrast with endometriosis, adenomyotic lesions showed identical steroid hormone receptor expression, proliferative activity, bcl-2 expression and leukocyte subpopulations to eutopic endometrium, indicating different aetiologies for these disorders. The unusual CD56+ CD16- eGLs present in large numbers in late secretory phase eutopic endometrium were highly purified (>98%) by immunomagnetic separation. Except for a negligible cytotoxic activity of eGLs from early proliferative samples, cytotoxic activity of eGLs from non-pregnant endometrium during the menstrual cycle was comparable with those in peripheral blood, predominantly CD56+ CD16+ natural killer cells. eGLs from non-pregnant endometrium and early pregnancy showed a variable proliferative response to 5 and 100 U/ml interleukin-2 over 48-h and 120-h time courses. eGLs are evidently functionally important in the eutopic endometrium. Their absence in endometriotic lesions together with increased CD+8 T-cell numbers and increased oestrogen receptor and bcl-2 expression may have significant effects on the development and progression of endometriosis.  (+info)

Expression pattern of integrin adhesion molecules in endometriosis and human endometrium. (4/1690)

Integrins are cell adhesion molecules that undergo cell-specific dynamic changes during the normal menstrual cycle in the human endometrium. Here, using immunohistochemistry, we have investigated the expression pattern of the integrins alphav, alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, alpha3, alpha6, beta1, beta2 and beta3 in the human ectopic endometrium of 30 patients and in nine cases in the corresponding eutopic endometrium. The biopsies were obtained during the early or late follicular phase (25 cases), during the corpus luteum phase (four cases) and in one case after 6 months' treatment with a gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. The integrin expression was independent of the ovarian steroid situation at the time of biopsy. The integrin alpha6 was expressed in all endometriotic and endometrium samples. The integrin alpha3 was absent in all endometrium tissues of patients with endometriosis. However, the corresponding endometriotic lesions re-expressed this adhesion molecule in 15 cases. No change in integrin beta3 expression pattern could be demonstrated in either endometriotic lesions or endometrium samples, regardless of the menstrual cycle phase. A correlation between serum oestradiol and progesterone concentrations and the expression of the investigated integrins was not observed, thus indicating that these two hormones play a minor role in the regulation of the cell adhesion molecules examined. Our investigation suggests that endometriosis is a dedifferentiated disease as it expressed different integrins in comparison with the eutopic endometrium, and independently of the hormonal situation. The ability of endometriotic tissues to express integrins may explain the high recurrence rates in patients with endometriosis, as these samples retain their adhesion potency after retrograde menstruation and are thus able to establish cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions with the surrounding peritoneum.  (+info)

Paracrine changes in the peritoneal environment of women with endometriosis. (5/1690)

During the past decade, macrophage-derived substances such as prostanoids, cytokines, growth factors and angiogenic factors have been detected in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. In particular, growth-promoting and angiogenic factors are considered to be substantially involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), substances recently detected in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis, were assessed with regard to their concentrations in different stages of endometriosis and changes of the peritoneal paracrine activity after medical treatment with a gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa). Peritoneal fluid was obtained from patients with endometriosis during laparoscopy before and after a 4-month treatment with a GnRHa. VEGF, TGF-beta and ICAM-1 could be detected in all women presenting with various stages of active endometriosis. After GnRHa therapy, all patients showed significant decreases in mean concentrations of VEGF (194+/-77 pg/ml), TGF-beta (902+/-273 pg/ml) and ICAM-1 (157+/-52 ng/ml). Patients with stage III and IV endometriosis (according to the rAFS score) had much higher concentrations of VEGF and TGF-beta before treatment compared with those patients with mild endometriosis (rAFS stages I and II). The most striking decrease in concentration was for TGF-beta, from 902 pg/ml before to 273 pg/ml after therapy. These results indicate an important role for paracrine activity in the establishment and maintenance of endometriosis. Indeed, treatment with a GnRHa may reduce paracrine activity in the peritoneal cavity via hypo-oestrogenism and provide proof of successful therapy.  (+info)

Tracing cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in endometriosis. (6/1690)

The aetiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, is largely unknown. In this paper we present and discuss possibilities to study the putative pathogenic properties of endometriotic cells in vitro. The current focus of our investigations is on the invasive phenotype of the disease, assuming that this might contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. So far, we have shown that: (i) cytokeratin-positive and E-cadherin-negative endometriotic cells have an invasive phenotype in a collagen invasion assay in vitro similar to metastatic carcinoma cells; (ii) the invasiveness of endometriotic but not of eutopic endometrial cells can be stimulated by a heat-stable protein present in peritoneal fluid; and (iii) the endometriotic cell line EEC145T, which we established, may be a useful tool for the identification of gene products which are, positively or negatively, invasion-related. Finally, our studies suggest that the invasive phenotype in endometriosis shares aspects with tumour metastasis, but might also have unique mechanisms.  (+info)

Extracellular matrix remodelling in the endometrium and its possible relevance to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. (7/1690)

Essential features of endometrial physiology involve the extracellular matrix (ECM). In the pathogenesis of endometriosis, interactions of endometriosis cells with ECM can be postulated. Two systems of secreted proteases in the endometrium, the plasmin(ogen) activator/inhibitor and the matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors were examined in cell cultures of uterine endometrial cells from women with and without endometriosis. Soluble urokinase receptor secretion is increased, and mRNA transcription of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) is upregulated by progestin in endometriosis. These findings are compatible with an altered ECM turnover in the endometrium of these patients that may explain a higher invasive potential of retrogradely menstruated endometrial fragments.  (+info)

Angiogenesis: a new theory for endometriosis. (8/1690)

Excessive endometrial angiogenesis is proposed as an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Evidence is reviewed for the hypothesis that the endometrium of women with endometriosis has an increased capacity to proliferate, implant and grow in the peritoneal cavity. Data is summarized indicating that the endometrium of patients with endometriosis shows enhanced endothelial cell proliferation. Results are also reviewed indicating that the cell adhesion molecule integrin alphavbeta3 is expressed in more blood vessels in the endometrium of women with endometriosis when compared with normal women. Taken together, these results provide evidence for increased endometrial angiogenesis in women with endometriosis when compared with normal subjects. Endometriosis is one of the family of angiogenic diseases. Other angiogenic diseases include solid tumours, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and diabetic retanopathy. Excessive endometrial angiogenesis suggests novel new medical treatments for endometriosis aimed at the inhibition of angiogenesis.  (+info)

Image Source: Google. Girls that are affected by infertility and endometriosis at precisely the exact same time tend to be at the summit of the breeding years. Experts assume that endometriosis may result in infertility during instances that adhesions, scars, and other distortions become within the breeding field of girls. These adhesions may lead to a gap from the message processing in the mind to the manhood linked to reproduction, resulting in infertility.. In other cases, endometriosis may directly impact themselves thus inducing a woman to have trouble conceiving a child. Endometriosis may also impact the role of the organs, potentially resulting in weak female eggs as well as the likes. On the other hand, the ideal way where endometriosis affects the reproductive system of a lady isnt yet apparent to experts.. Infertility inflammation alone can be readily treated.

Home Remedies for Endometriosis - The HealthologyHome Remedies for Endometriosis - The Healthology
Other than retrograde menstruation, experts say that endometriosis may also be brought about by a few other factors. Some of them include a weakened immune system, environmental toxins and genetics.. Women with endometriosis may experience a host of unfavorable symptoms. It all depends on the conditions current stage, which is determined by the likes of location, depth, size and number. Some women with endometriosis may have mild symptoms only, while others have moderate to severe symptoms. Its important to note that the severity of the symptoms has nothing to do with the stage of endometriosis. For instance, a woman may have mild endometriosis only but may experience a great deal of pain.. Aside from pain in the lower abdomen before and during menstruation, others symptoms of endometriosis include pain after sexual intercourse, discomfort during bowel movements and heavy menstrual bleeding. A woman with endometriosis may also notice some blood in between periods. Sometimes, the condition may ...

endometrium - Endometriosis Supportendometrium - Endometriosis Support
A study undertaken over several years has indicated that the most extensive form of Endometriosis may be predicted by the severity of menstrual periods in teenage girls.. The extensive form of Endometriosis is know as Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE). There are three distinct forms of Endometriosis (not to be confused with different stages/levels): Superficial Endometriosis, Ovarian Endometriosis and Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. DEep Infiltrating Endometriosis is the most extensive, women with this condition will usually have extensive deposits of Endometriosis leading to adhesions in multiple parts of the body, including the vagina, bladder and ligaments that attach the uterus to the pelvis.. It is not unusual for several years (or longer) to go before a woman is diagnosed with Endometriosis due to the difficulty in diagnosis (the only reliable way is still a laproscopy and direct examination of the endometrium cells) and the number of diseases that can be similar to Endometriosis or ...

Bowel endometriosis - Endo HealthBowel endometriosis - Endo Health
Bowel endometriosis is invariably associated with other significant endometriosis (eg endometrioma/chocolate cysts, or adenomyosis). Bowel endometriosis tends to slowly and progressively worsen in women who are pre-menopausal. It is rare for the bowel to be obstructed by endometriosis.. When the bowel is involved, there is generally a range of symptoms that a patient may experience; in particular, a cyclic change in bowel habit (diarrhoea, constipation or both) or cyclic bowel pain, always worst when the period is due. Women with bowel-related endometriosis will almost invariably have reduced fertility. Sometimes it is necessary to correct the pelvic and bowel endometriosis before a woman can conceive naturally. It is usual for patients with documented bowel endometriosis to experience back pain, sex pain and ovulation pain.. Investigating bowel pain by pelvic ultrasound scan or MRI scan is always a good starting point. The scan must be very specific, by an ultrasonologist or radiologist trained ...

Ureter Endometriosis | MedCraveUreter Endometriosis | MedCrave
Ureter endometriosis is a rare clinical condition with up to 12% of women with endometriosis affected in the urinary tract [1,2]. The proportion of involvement of bladder, ureter and kidney is said to be 40:5:1 [3,4]. Of special concern ureteral endometriosis is a silent disease with most patients without specific symptoms (related to the ureter) and, more commonly with pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia) that affects most patients with endometriosis. In patients without pain symptoms the diagnosis of endometriosis can be delayed leading to silent loss of kidney function [5,6]. Ureteral endometriosis can be intrinsic or extrinsic to the ureteral wall [7,8]. Extrinsic type is considered the most common [9].. Surgical treatment is feasible and safe [10,11]. Ureter endometriosis can be treated either by ureterolysis, segmental ureterectomy with end-to-end anastomosis or ureteroneocystostomy. The surgical strategy published by Wattiez et al. [12] starts with retroperitoneal inspection of ...

We aimed to investigate the impact of endometriosis in women achieving singleton pregnancies through IVF fresh cycles and risk of miscarriage. This retrospective cohort study included all women undergoing a first IVF cycle and achieving singleton pregnancies after fresh embryo transfer in a tertiary university hospital reproductive medical center between January 2008 and June 2016. Women with endometriosis were compared with women with no endometriosis. Women in the endometriosis group were all with a history of laparoscopy or laparotomy for endometriosis and/or with ovarian endometrioma. The control group was matched 1:2 according to age and study period. Among the cohort, we identified 1006 women with endometriosis as study group and 2012 unaffected women matched in a 1:2 ratios as control group. The miscarriage rate between women with and without endometriosis was similar (22.4 and 20.1%, P = 0.085). The

EndometriosisEndometriosis
Endometriosis, a common gynecological disorder, affects an estimated 5.5 million women in North America, making it one of the leading causes of infertility. It is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found elsewhere in the body.. The two most common symptoms of endometriosis are pelvic pain and infertility. The pain often correlates to the menstrual cycle, but a woman with endometriosis may also experience pain at other times. For many women, the pain of endometriosis is so severe and debilitating that it impacts their everyday lives and activities in significant ways. Others may not find out they have endometriosis until they try to get pregnant.. Endometriosis may cause scar tissue and adhesions to develop that can distort a womans internal anatomy. In advanced stages, internal organs may fuse together, causing a condition known as a frozen pelvis. Most women do not have the disease to this extent.. ...

Luminescence as a Tool to Assess Pelvic Endometriosis Development in Murine Models. | DIAL.pr - BOREALLuminescence as a Tool to Assess Pelvic Endometriosis Development in Murine Models. | DIAL.pr - BOREAL
Classic murine endometriosis models may be insufficient to evaluate the effect of therapeutic agents on endometriosis development, because the process of identification and measurement of induced lesions is often impeded, as implants are small and embedded in murine tissue. In this context, as summarized in the current review, luminescence techniques have proved useful for identifying and visualizing or quantifying endometriotic transplants. They are also a valuable tool for endometrial cell tracking in live animals, yielding further information by adding spatial and temporal dimensions to biological processes in vivo. Such approaches involve transplanting luminescently labeled murine or human endometrium into animals. Two main strategies are applied to label endometrium before injection: use of genetically modified tissue or tissue labeled with a fluorescent dye. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages, the choice of model depends on the study objectives/design (long- or short-term ...

Genetic burden associated with varying degrees of disease severity in endometriosis. - Nuffield Department of MedicineGenetic burden associated with varying degrees of disease severity in endometriosis. - Nuffield Department of Medicine
Endometriosis is primarily characterized by the presence of tissue resembling endometrium outside the uterine cavity and is usually diagnosed by laparoscopy. The most commonly used classification of disease, the revised American Fertility Society (rAFS) system to grade endometriosis into different stages based on disease severity (I to IV), has been questioned as it does not correlate well with underlying symptoms, posing issues in diagnosis and choice of treatment. Using two independent European genome-wide association (GWA) datasets and top-level classification of the endometriosis cases based on rAFS [minimal or mild (Stage A) and moderate-to-severe (Stage B) disease], we previously showed that Stage B endometriosis has greater contribution of common genetic variation to its aetiology than Stage A disease. Herein, we extend our previous analysis to four endometriosis stages [minimal (Stage I), mild (Stage II), moderate (Stage III) and severe (Stage IV) disease] based on the rAFS classification system

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Endometriosis | Frontiers Research TopicMinimally Invasive Surgery for Endometriosis | Frontiers Research Topic
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial-like endometrial cells, glands and stroma outside the uterus, causing a strong inflammatory-like microenvironment in the affected tissue. The exact prevalence of endometriosis is unknown, but the estimates range from 2-10 % of women of reproductive age, to 50 % of infertile women. Its etiopathogenesis of endometriosis still remains controversial: immune, hormonal, genetic, and epigenetic factors may be all involved, and several theories have been proposed to explain it.Endometriosis can cause several symptoms and signs, including acute and chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, abnormal vaginal bleeding, infertility/sterility and, in the severe stage, gastrointestinal and urological symptoms. Three main clinical presentations have been described: peritoneal endometriosis, endometriotic ovarian cysts (i.e., endometriomas), and deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) .The latter is considered the most aggressive presentation of endometriosis

Additional medical treatment strategies that are currently approved include medications classified as GnRH agonists, high dose progestins, androgens, and aromatase inhibitors.. GnRH agonists are one of the most effective treatments for endometriosis-associated pain. Endometriosis lesions grow when serum estradiol concentrations are in the premenopausal range (30 to 300 pg/mL) and regress when estradiol levels are in the menopausal range (,20 pg/mL). These medications act centrally, inhibiting the brains signals to the ovaries to make estrogen, decreasing the circulating estrogen concentration to menopausal levels and shutting down growth of endometriosis. Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated that approximately 85% of women with endometriosis and pelvic pain who are treated with GnRH agonist analogues experience relief of their pain, but not without side effects. The most common side effects are related to menopausal symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes), decreased libido, ...

Endometriosis is a clinical entity characterized by the presence of normal endometrial mucosa abnormally implanted in locations other than the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can be either endopelvic or extrapelvicdepending on the location of endometrial tissue implantation. Despite the rarity of extrapelvic endometriosis, several cases of endometriosis of the gastrointestinal tract, the urinarytract, the upper and lower respiratory system, the diaphragm, the pleura and the pericardium, as well as abdominal scars loci have been reported in the literature. There are several theories about the pathogenesis and the pathophysiology of endometriosis. Depending on the place of endometrial tissue implantation, endometriosis can be expressed with a wide variety of symptoms. The diagnosis of this entity is neither easy nor routine. Many diagnostic methods clinical and laboratory have been used, but none of them is the golden standard. The multipotent localization of endometriosis in combination with the wide range

Serum and Peritoneal Fluid Cytokine Profiles in Infertile Women with EndometriosisSerum and Peritoneal Fluid Cytokine Profiles in Infertile Women with Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with the growth of endometrial cells out of uterus and in the peritoneal cavity. T cell subsets participate in the establishment and progress of the disease by producing different cytokines. Objective: To investigate a group of cytokines related to Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg subsets within both peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid (PF) samples from infertile endometriosis women. Methods: Peripheral blood and PF samples were collected from 30 infertile endometriosis and 30 non-endometriosis fertile women during laparoscopy. Concentration of cytokines, including TNF-α, IFN-γ, TGF-β1, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17 and IL- 23 were evaluated using ELISA method. Results: Results indicated that the concentration of IFN-γ within serum was significantly reduced in endometriosis group (p=0.001). Regarding PF cytokines, TGF-β1 was increased in endometriosis group (p=0.030). Furthermore, the ratios of IFN-γ/TGF-β1 and IL-17/IL-23 were significantly different between

Endometriosis and pregnancy outcomes - Princeton IVFEndometriosis and pregnancy outcomes - Princeton IVF
A new study from Scotland suggests that it may. It has been known for years that endometriosis can cause infertility, but it was less clear was whether it might affect the outcomes of those who do successfully conceive.. For those who are unfamiliar, endometriosis is a condition in which tissue resembling the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows in places where it does not normally belong such as as on the ovary, near the fallopian tubes or in other parts in the peritoneal membrane that lines the pelvis. Besides affecting fertility, endometriosis can result in painful menses (dysmenorrhea) and painful intercourse (dyspareunia). The symptoms of endometriosis are often cyclic, fluctuating along with a womans reproductive hormones.. In a large study presented at the ESHRE meeting in Lisbon, the group from Edinburgh in the UK, reported that women who with known endometriosis were more likely to have miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies that those who did not. While this does not prove that ...

Endometriosis is a common problem in women of reproductive age and has impacts on health-related quality of life and productivity. Fatigue is an important part of the burden of endometriosis, it is not often included as an endpoint in clinical trials. The study assessed the psychometric properties of the PROMIS Fatigue Short Form 6a in women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain. In a phase III double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (NCT01620528), women aged 18-49 years with moderate-to-severe endometriosis-related pain were randomized to elagolix 150 mg once daily, elagolix 200 mg twice daily, or placebo for 6 months. PROMIS Fatigue and dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain (NMPP) scores were assessed at baseline and months 1, 3, and 6, and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) was assessed at months 1, 3, and 6. Reliability (internal consistency and test-retest reliability), construct validity (convergent and known groups validity), and responsiveness were evaluated.

New: Endometriosis is the number one cause of adhesions : Laparoscopy of AdhesiolysisNew: Endometriosis is the number one cause of adhesions : Laparoscopy of Adhesiolysis
Endometriosis is the number one cause for formation of adhesions in women of reproductive age. If we add the surgeries for endometriosis to the causes of adhesions one can refer to endometriosis as the most important factor contributing to adhesion formation and Adhesion Related Disorder in women.. A simple explanation: Endometriosis spots in the peritoneal cavity produce blood and inflammation thus result in adhesion formation. Adhesions and endometriotic inflammation adhere organs to each other, like uterus with ovaries and tubes. Surgical procedures for endometriosis remain high-risk procedures that produce adhesions again and again. Most of these surgeries are performed without any adhesion barriers so the reformation of adhesions is most relevant and contributing factor to pelvic pain, infertility and bowel symptoms.Severe adhesions in high stages of endometriosis finally forms the frozen pelvis we all know in women with endometriosis and recurrent surgeries. Both, endometriosis and ...

Assessment of Performance of [18F]-FES for Endometriosis Diagnosis - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govAssessment of Performance of [18F]-FES for Endometriosis Diagnosis - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Endometriosis is a benign chronic disease responsible for infertility and pelvic pain. One of the main problem of endometriosis is the significant delay of diagnosis.This delay has significant consequences for patients. Currently the definitive diagnosis of endometriosis and the evaluation of its lesional extension require performing laparoscopy and a histological analysis of biopsy and pathologic areas. Lesions of endometriosis whose development and growth are estrogen-dependent, express estrogen receptor (ER). [18F]FES (16α-[18F]Fluoro-17β-estradiol) is an analog of estrogen, used in positron emission tomography (PET), and a specific tracer of ER. We propose to evaluate the performance of this functional imaging as a diagnostic tool for endometriosis.. The aim of this multicenter, prospective, open study is to assess sensitivity of PET with [18F] -FES for diagnosing endometriosis compared to the gold standard (histological confirmation on biopsy or excision of lesions performed during ...

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease that is defined by growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pain, infertility, and emotional distress. Previous studies have shown that the HPA axis is compromised in patients with chronic, painful diseases, including endometriosis. However, the underlying mechanisms and the physiological and emotional consequences of dysfunctions in the HPA axis in these patients are largely unknown. We aimed to understand whether diurnal circulating cortisol levels in women with endometriosis are affected and how this impacts their emotional and behavioral responses. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with endometriosis and 36 healthy control women provided saliva samples and completed a series of psychological questionnaires. Salivary cortisol levels were measured in duplicate using a colorimetric immunoassay.

Aims: It is generally considered that an unequivocal histological diagnosis of endometriosis requires the presence of endometrioid-type glands and endometrioid-type stroma. However, small nodules or plaques of endometrioid-type stroma without glands have been noticed by the authors in repeated peritoneal biopsies performed for suspected endometriosis. These are often, but not always, accompanied by typical endometriosis with glands. This form of endometriosis has been previously referred to as stromal or micronodular stromal endometriosis. However, there has been little reference to this condition in the literature.. Methods: In this study, there was a review of a large series (n = 274) of peritoneal biopsies with a diagnosis of endometriosis with a view to ascertaining the frequency of stromal endometriosis.. Results: Stromal endometriosis, characterised histologically by small microscopic nodules or plaques of endometrioid-type stroma, sometimes with a whorled pattern and prominent vascularity ...

Endometriosis and infertility - WikipediaEndometriosis and infertility - Wikipedia
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures are effective in improving fertility in many women with endometriosis. IVF makes it possible to combine sperm and eggs in a laboratory and then place the resulting embryos into the womans uterus. The decision when to apply IVF in endometriosis-associated infertility cases takes into account the age of the patient, the severity of the endometriosis, the presence of other infertility factors, and the results and duration of past treatments. In ovarian hyperstimulation as part of IVF in women with endometriosis, using a standard GnRH agonist protocol has been found to be equally effective in regard to using a GnRH antagonist protocol in terms of pregnancy rate.[7][needs update] On the other hand, when using a GnRH agonist protocol, long-term (three to six months) pituitary down-regulation before IVF for women with endometriosis has been estimated to increase the odds of clinical pregnancy by fourfold.[7] No difference has been found between surgery ...

Endometriosis - the spread of endometrial tissue outside the uterus - has been reported as being a relatively common condition among women with ME/CFS.. A study from researchers in Atlanta, Georgia recently looked at what, if any, impact the condition has on other characteristics of patients. Among 36 women from Wichita, Kansas, with a diagnosis of CFS (according to the 1994 Fukuda case definition), 36.1% reported having endometriosis.. These individuals were more likely than those without endometriosis to have chronic pelvic pain, an earlier menopause and a previous hysterectomy, and they also had more CFS-related symptoms.. Endometriosis did not appear to have any impact on functioning, fatigue or inflammatory markers, but the sample was relatively small, and most participants were postmenopausal. A better indication might come from studying a sample of younger women.. ...

BACKGROUND: Hormonally active environmental agents recently have been associated with the development of endometriosis. METHODS: We undertook a study to assess the relation between endometriosis, an estrogen dependent gynecologic disease, and 62 individual polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) congeners. We enrolled 84/100 eligible women aged 18-40 years undergoing laparoscopy for study, which included an interview and blood specimen (n=80; 95%). Thirty-two women had visually confirmed endometriosis at laparoscopy while 52 did not. Blood specimens were run in batches of 14 including four quality control samples for toxicologic analysis. Each PCB congener was adjusted for recovery; batch specific reagent blanks were subtracted. All PCB concentrations were log transformed and expressed in ng/g serum first as a sum and then tertiles by purported estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity of PCB congeners. RESULTS: Using unconditional logistic regression analysis, an elevated risk of endometriosis was ...

Understanding of endometriosis through ayurveda | International Journal of Current ResearchUnderstanding of endometriosis through ayurveda | International Journal of Current Research
Introduction: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases characterized by the implantation and growth of viable endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. The exact prevalence of endometriosis is not known but estimates range from 10-15% within the women of reproductive age group. Women with endometriosis are usually confronted with one or both of the two major problems-Endometriosis associated pain and infertility. Pain includes dysmenorrhea, Dyspareunia, Dyschezia and non menstrual pelvic pain with a significant effect on various aspects of womens life including their social and sexual relationships, work and study. Objectives: The present work is an attempt to understand endometriosis through Ayurvedic concepts. Material and Methods: Ayurveda classics, text books of gynecology, and internet publications were consulted and reviewed for carrying out the present work. Conclusion: Endometriosis cannot be correlated to any single disease of Ayurveda. It can be ...

COX-2 over-expression is found in both endometriotic lesions and eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis when compared with controls. treatment with COX-2 inhibitors prevents the implantation of endometrium to ectopic sites and induces the regression of established endometriotic lesions. Dopamine agonists. A decade ago, Basu et al. (2001) made the interesting discovery that the neurotransmitter ...

Womens Care Consultants - EndometriosisWomens Care Consultants - Endometriosis
The main symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain. Pain may occur with sex, during bowel movements or urination, or just before or during your menstrual cycle. Menstrual bleeding may occur more than once a month. Endometriosis also may cause infertility.. No one is certain of the cause of endometriosis. For most women, a small amount of blood flows through the fallopian tubes into the abdomen during their periods. For women with endometriosis, the blood that flows through the tubes attach to other places and grow. Endometrial cells also may be carried through blood and lymph vessels.. The amount of pain does not tell you how severe your condition is. Some women with slight pain may have a severe case. Others who have a lot of pain may have a mild case.. Many women with endometriosis have no symptoms. In fact, they may first find out they have endometriosis if they are not able to get pregnant. Endometriosis is found in about one third of infertile women.. Women often find that symptoms are ...

IL-17A Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Endometriosis by Triggering Proinflammatory Cytokines and Angiogenic Growth Factors |...IL-17A Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Endometriosis by Triggering Proinflammatory Cytokines and Angiogenic Growth Factors |...
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue in aberrant locations outside the uterus. Neoangiogenesis or establishment of new blood supply is one of the fundamental requirements of endometriotic lesion survival in the peritoneal cavity. IL-17A is emerging as a potent angiogenic and proinflammatory cytokine involved in the pathophysiology of several chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. However, sparse information is available in the context of endometriosis. In this study, we demonstrate the potential importance of IL-17A in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of endometriosis. The data show a differential expression of IL-17A in human ectopic endometriotic lesions and matched eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis. Importantly, surgical removal of lesions resulted in significantly reduced plasma IL-17A concentrations. Immunohistochemistry revealed localization of IL-17A primarily in the stroma ...

WES Consensus on the Classification of Endometriosis | World Endometriosis SocietyWES Consensus on the Classification of Endometriosis | World Endometriosis Society
The World Endometriosis Society consensus on the classification of endometriosis distills the latest evidence and opinions on the various classification systems. It uses a consensus methodology that is gaining wider acceptance.. It attempts to consider the best interests of women who have - or might have - endometriosis.. It provides as firm a foundation as we have for further research relating to the classification of endometriosis. And it challenges endometriosis surgeons, until better endometriosis classification systems become available, to make use of the best that we currently have:. ...

Endometriosis Articles, Studies, and Musings: Musings on mullerianEndometriosis Articles, Studies, and Musings: Musings on mullerian
This is purely my conjecture based on my readings. The literature refers to peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis, and deep infiltrating endometriosis. Current theory points to defects when our pelvic organs are developed (Mullerianosis) that leave stem cells in the wrong place. This might also explain why other mullerian disorders such as adenomyosis are frequently seen in endometriosis patients as well. These stem cells are acted upon by hormones (puberty) to develop as glands and stroma and begin the process of making nerves and blood vessels to support itself - as any good stem cell should. However that tissue should not be in those wrong sites and an inflammatory response happens. Factors from the environment (food, physical activity, stress, etc) play a role in presentation of illness. This is why diet etc might affect symptoms but will not rid the person of the lesions. The different locations of stem cells left behind might influence how they are acted upon by hormones and ...

Laparoscopic Surgical Techniques for Endometriosis - SISFMLaparoscopic Surgical Techniques for Endometriosis - SISFM
Endometriosis is probably the most challenging among gynecologic benign diseases in terms of epidemiologic spread and impact on womens quality of life as it about 10% of reproductive age women and almost 50% of infertile women. Recently many women with advanced endometriosis have been treated by laparoscopic approach as it results in a shorter hospitalization and recovery period as compared with laparotomy. However, Laparoscopic excision of endometriosis remains one of the most challenging procedures among gynecological surgeries.. The main goal of this course is to provide the participants with a comprehensive update on the recent laparoscopic surgical techniques in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. To achieve this, specialists in the field of endometriosis will give interactive lectures and discussions, demonstrate laparoscopic surgical skills in animal models and live surgery and ultrasound sessions. These activities are organized to provide the participants with detailed and ...
