We designed the present study in order to evaluate the eventual role of polymorphisms in the genes encoding cytochrome P450c17alpha (CYP17) and the progesterone receptor (PROGINS) as risk factors for endometriosis development. Eligible cases consisted of 121 women with surgically confirmed
Endometriosis, the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, is a progressive, estrogen-dependent disease and occurs nearly exclusively in menstruating women of reproductive age. Pain syndrome, however, represents the major clinical problem of this disease, manifested as dysmenorrhea,
BACKGROUND
Although dyspareunia experienced after menopause is widely attributed to declining estrogen levels and vulvovaginal atrophy, critical reviews of the literature have suggested that these factors are incomplete as explanatory mechanisms. Little is known about psychosocial factors that may
BACKGROUND
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterine cavity. This condition is oestrogen-dependent and thus is seen primarily during the reproductive years. Owing to their antiproliferative effects in the endometrium, progesterone receptor
The loss of sex steroids (e.g. estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone [DHEA], progesterone) that causes menopause commonly affects a woman's general health and produces bothersome physical changes that may interfere with normal sexual and genitourinary functioning. Although both over-the-counter and
Fractional CO2 laser therapy is an emerging treatment for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of fractional CO2 laser therapy in breast cancer survivors.This was a The contraceptive pill has been a revolution of the last 40 years. In Italy, however, it is much less widely used than in other countries. Explanations for this phenomenon range from religious implications and customs to misinformation and word-of-mouth communication of negative experiences. The
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effects of mifepristone combined with gestrinone on patients with endometriosis.
METHODS
A total of 150 endometriotic patients treated in our hospital between January 2014 and December 2015 were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment
BACKGROUND
Endometriosis is a benign proliferation of discarded or ectopic endometrial mucus membranes which retain the histological features and biological reactions of uterine mucus membranes. This tissue is not capable of independent proliferation but is subject to the influence of estrogen
Reversible temporary medical oophorectomy using long-acting agonist analogs of LH-RH was tried in three infertile patients suffering from large endometriomas of the ovary. These patients had stage IV disease according to the revised 1985 classification of the American Fertility Society.
The major biologically active circulating estrogen in both males and females is estradiol (E(2)). Circulating E(2) is a product of the ovarian granulosa cell and the testicular Leydig cell. Its gonadal formation is dependent on A-ring aromatization of its immediate precursor, testosterone, by a
Dienogest (DNG), a progestin of 19-nortestosterone derivative, has good oral bioavailability and is highly selective for progesterone receptors. Owing to its antiovulatory, antiproliferative activities in endometrial cells, and its inhibitory effects on the secretion of cytokines, DNG is expected to
Endometriosis is a common, benign and chronic gynecological disorder. It is also an estrogen-dependent disorder that can result in substantial morbidity, including pelvic pain, pro gressive dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, infertility and repeat surgeries. Endometriosis is often treated surgically upon
Premenopausal breast cancer patients frequently develop amenorrhea during adjuvant chemotherapy. Despite psychic distress and severe weight loss are possible causes for secondary amenorrhea in cancer patients, it is in this case due to the gonadotoxicity of the cytostatic drugs. Alkylating agents,
Endometriosis, which is the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, is estimated to affect up to 10% of reproductive-age women. Symptoms associated with endometriosis include dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia. In July 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved
