conclusions some other small studies have proved that statins were effective in regression of endometriosis implants and we have also proved that the levels of serum lipid profile was higher in patients suffering from endometriosis, perhaps higher levels of lipid profile has a significant etiologic role in pathogenesis of endometriosis. results we had 25 patients in endometriosis group and 50 i...

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...

ndometriosis is defined as the presence of normal endometrial tissue occurring outside the endometrial cavity. This ectopic endometrial tissue responds to normal cyclic hormonal changes, resulting in localized bleeding, inflammation, and subsequent adhesion formation. As a result, endometriosis is a well-known cause of chronic pelvic pain in premenopausal women. The most common site and most re...

Naturaly blastocyte implants in the uterine cavity.implantation of blastocyst in anyplace other than the endometrial lining of the uterine cavity is considered an ectopic pregnancy.more than 95% of ectopic pregnancies are tubal pregnancies.ovarian ectopic pregnancy is a rare case with an estimated incidence ranging from % 0.05-1 of the extra uterine pregnancies.if one blastocytes implant simult...

Laparoscopy has traditionally been used only as a diagnostic step in the evaluation of the infertility patient. With the advent of more sophisticated instrumentation including the use of laser surgery, laparoscopic procedures can now be performed instead of conventional laparotomy. Lysis of pelvic adhesions as well as treatment of endometrial implants and endometriomas are now routine laparosco...

Although the exact etiology is not fully understood, most physicians recognize that endometriosis plays a key role (3). In the literature, this condition is described at thoracic endometriosis (TE), thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES), or thoracic endometriosis-related pneumothorax (TERP). Documented case studies describe thoracic or pulmonary endometriosis as implants on the lung or pleura (...

Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare complication secondary to pleural endometriosis. We present a case of a 37-year-old-female with a history of recurrent pneumothoraces with an associated temporal relationship to the onset of her menses. In addition to her recurrent pneumothoraces, on further evaluation, she was found to have multiple nodular masses within the omentum. A thoracoscopic biopsy was...

BACKGROUND Pelvic endometriotic lesions are often laden with hemosiderin. In order to investigate the potential source of such iron deposits, we examined whether the seric and erythrocyte fractions of menstrual effluent might influence the occurrence of iron deposition within lesions in a murine model of endometriosis. METHODS Endometriosis was induced in 57 nude mice by intraperitoneal injec...
