INTRODUCTION Bilateral ectopic pregnancies are increasing due to an increase in the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease and increase in assisted reproductive techniques. Spontaneous conception after bilateral ectopic pregnancies is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old Indian woman presented with ruptured ectopic pregnancy associated with hemoperitoneum for which she underwent ...

Although endometriosis is a common finding in infertile women (1), the mechanism by which it is associated with infertility remains unclear. Not unexpectedly, the optimal treatment for women with endometriosis, who wish to become pregnant, is debatable. Women, who suffer from infertility and are diagnosed with endometriosis, may undergo surgical or medical treatment with the aim to enhance thei...

UNLABELLED One of the problems associated with endometriosis is its high recurrence rate. The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors which might contribute to the recurrence of endometrial cysts after their surgical removal. MATERIAL AND METHOD The study included 49 patients admitted to Division of Reproduction, between January 2000 and June 2004, due to endometrial cysts. Patients w...

Introduction: Reduced fertility is a major concern in women with endometriosis. The influence of surgery of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affecting the bowel wall on fertility is controversial and the literature on this field is heterogenous. In this review we addressed if surgery for bowel DIE improves spontaneous pregnancy rate and results of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the pote...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes of long gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) and GnRH-antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocols in endometriosis patients who have undergone laparoscopic endometrioma resection surgery. To our knowledge, there is no study in the current literature that compares the effectiveness of long GnR...

In this series of patients, endometriosis does not involve more pelvic areas in older age groups. Exposure to pregnancy is associated with slightly less pelvic involvement, although this effect is inconstant when age groups are studied individually.

conclusions lower bmi, longer duration of marriage, shorter menstrual cycles, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea are predictive factors for diagnosis of endometriosis in infertile population. these clinical factors should be considered prior to diagnostic laparoscopy for infertility. results of 441 infertile women, 82 (18.6%) had endometriosis. no statistically significant difference was identified ...

Endometriosis, a common gynecological disease, is characterized by local and systemic inflammation, which causes pelvic pain and infertility and eventually, increased utilization of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This methods, especially in vitro fertilization (IVF), represent efficient and useful means for women affected by endometriosis and infertility. Despite the fact that older ...

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease defined by the growth of endometrium outside of the uterus. Although endometriosis contributes to 50% of female infertility cases, medical treatments are incompatible with pregnancy. Angiogenesis, the growth of blood vessels from existing vasculature, plays a crucial role in endometriotic lesion growth and survival. Previously, we demonstrated the effect...
