Chronic Endometritis and Endometriosis: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Both chronic endometritis and endometriosis are common entities in infertile patients. The association and the co-existence of these two entities are poorly evaluated. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the association between chronic endometritis and endometriosis and to find the prevalence of chronic endometritis in women with endometriosis.

Ethanol Sclerotherapy for Endometriomas in Infertile Women: A Narrative Review.

Ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) has gained attention as a minimally invasive treatment option for ovarian endometriomas, particularly in infertile women with endometrioma undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Endometriomas are associated with decreased ovarian reserve and impaired fertility outcomes, and traditional surgical approaches, such as cystectomy, often lead to further reductions in ovarian reserve. Ethanol sclerotherapy offers a potential alternative that preserves ovarian function while effectively managing endometriomas.

Association between endometriosis and congenital uterine malformations: A single-center retrospective study.

Study Objective: The association between endometriosis and congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) has been discussed for decades, but existing evidence about this association is scarce. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of CUAs in women with endometriosis and to identify specific characteristics in women with both CUAs and endometriosis in a large cohort of patients.

Design: This is a retrospective single-center observational study conducted between January 2006 and June 2021.

Adenomyosis Localized in Both the Anterior and Posterior Myometrium Is Associated with Deep Rectal Endometriosis: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two closely related, estrogen-dependent, benign gynecological diseases. The available evidence on their common pathogenesis and association is limited and often does not address the heterogeneity of both entities. The aim of our study is to investigate the association between different types and localizations of adenomyosis and endometriosis phenotypes, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laparoscopic findings.
