Endometriosis is a disease marked by more than just pain and infertility, as it transcends the well-characterized physical symptoms to be frequently associated with mental health issues. This review focuses on the associations between endometriosis and anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction, and eating disorders, all of which show a higher prevalence in women with the disease. Studies show that pain, especially the chronic pelvic pain of endometriosis, likely serves as a mediating factor.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study evaluating the homologous IUI cycles performed at a single university-based reproductive medical center between 2009 and 2017. The primary outcome measure was pregnancy, defined as positive serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 12-14 days after IUI.
Objective: To present a case of persistent postoperative elevation of the right hemidiaphragm after bipolar electrocoagulation of diaphragmatic endometriosis, highly likely because of collateral thermal damage to key branches of the phrenic nerve, and review the literature on diaphragmatic endometriosis, focusing on operative treatment.
Design: Case report and mini review.
Setting: Single university-based interdisciplinary endometriosis center.
Purpose: Both infertility and erectile dysfunction (ED) are known long-term consequences of cancer treatment in young male cancer survivors. In the present study, we aimed to assess whether sperm quality and sexual function in male cancer survivors are associated.
Methods: In this prospective study, n = 244 patients male cancer survivors who underwent sperm analysis and cryopreservation between 2008 and 2018 prior to the initiation of gonadotoxic treatment were invited.
