Background: The association between endometriosis and the outcome of pregnancy is one of the interesting topics. Endometriosis-related pain is alleviated with pregnancy; however, it is known to cause adverse outcomes in pregnancy. The main cause is systemic chronic inflammation caused by higher levels of cytokines, growth factors, and angiogenesis factors.

Impaired vascular growth resulting from reduced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the epithelial tissue of the glands is a primary cause of thin endometrium. Inducing angiogenesis offers a possible therapeutic strategy for this condition. This study aimed to develop a novel drug delivery system using S75 lipoid loaded with VEGF for thin endometrium therapy.

The development of endometrial receptivity is crucial for successful embryo implantation and the initiation of pregnancy. Understanding the molecular regulatory processes that transform the endometrium into a receptive phase is essential for enhancing implantation rates in fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a pivotal role as gene regulators and have been examined in the endometrium.

The study encompassing research papers documented in the last two decades pertaining to the possible influence of bisphenol A (BPA) on the fertility of females are appraised with emphasis on the influence of BPA in reproductive organs (uterus and ovaries) and pregnancy outcomes including discussion on the reproductive process (implantation, estrous cycle, hormone secretion); outcomes reveal a connection amongst BPA and female infertility. Ovary, uterus, and its shape as well as function can alter a person's ability to become pregnant by influencing the hypothalamus-pituitary axis in the ovarian model. Additionally, implantation and the estrous cycle may be affected by BPA.

Objectives: The benefits of sildenafil by increasing blood flow in the improvement of Doppler parameters of umbilical (UA), uterine (UtA), and fetal middle cerebral arteries (MCA) remain uncertain. On the other hand, insufficient blood flow during uterine contractions in labor can lead to decrease blood supply and fetal distress. Therefore, we aimed to assess the changes in fetal Doppler indices and maternal and neonatal outcomes following the use of sildenafil in the active phase of labor in low-risk pregnancies with healthy fetuses.
