Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated whether women with endometriosis have a stiffer internal cervical os (ICO), which is linked to menstrual pain, compared to those without the condition.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 287 women, finding that those with endometriosis had significantly lower elasticity scores for the ICO and other cervical regions, indicating stiffness.
- - The results suggest a strong association between endometriosis and a stiffer ICO, even when considering other factors like myomas and hormonal therapy.

Recent studies have revealed alterations in the gut microbiota of individuals with endometriosis, including reduced diversity, microbial composition imbalances, and pathogenic bacteria.
