Background: Endometriosis is a disease characterized by dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. The pathogenesis of endometriosis and its relationship to infertility are still not fully understood. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is considered an effective treatment for patients with endometriosis-associated infertility.

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) or network interaction analysis enables us to predict the targets of PRP's biomolecules using biological data through public databases and platforms. Therefore, this method is more efficient in time and cost than traditional laboratory procedures.

Design: No animals were used in this research because this is an in silico study that mainly uses software and online analysis tools. Participants/Materials, Settings: Gene datasets related to PCOS were obtained from Genecards.
Objective: This research was conducted to assess access to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and the current status of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) program that have been implemented in Indonesia over the last 10 years.
Methods: We established a retrospective cohort study and descriptive analysis of the current state of access to infertility care in Indonesia. The data were collected from all IVF centers, clinics, and hospitals in Indonesia from 2011 to 2020, including the number of IVF clinics, total ART cycles, retrieved fresh and frozen embryos, average age of IVF patients, IVF pregnancy rate, and causes of infertility.
This study aimed to assess the combined clinical and ultrasound criteria as a diagnostic tool for screening the Y chromosome related to primary amenorrhea. This cross-sectional study involving 59 subjects was taken from medical records at the Reproductive Immunoendocrinology Polyclinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. The medical records of subjects were then cross-checked with karyotyping analysis results.

Based on Indonesian Obstetrics and Gynecology Association (POGI), the number of maternal deaths due to covid-19 from April 2020 to April 2021 reached 3% and increased to 9% since the delta variant of covid-19 emerged. This research was expected to identify factors that are related to the mortality rate of pregnant women with covid-19.

Objective: We provide an overview of the safety of messenger RNA and inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine and monitoring of pregnant women after COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccine safety outcome profile is beneficial for further recommendations of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy.
Methods: This research was conducted as descriptive research.
Background: fertilization (IVF) remains a main treatment for infertility cases. Post-injection human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level is an essential factor in determining oocyte maturation rate in IVF. This study aimed to determine the relationship between 12 hours post-injection serum hCG level and oocyte maturation rate among IVF participants.

There are few data on the effect of long-term exposure to high levels of testosterone as found in transgender men receiving gender-affirming endocrine therapy. In this study, we investigate the effect of testosterone on the development, morphological health and DNA damage and repair capacity of human ovarian follicles in vivo and their survival in vitro.

Case Presentation: We present a case of pregnancy following conservative surgery and complete chemotherapy for ovarian dysgerminoma stage IIA.
Background: Endometriosis is identified as presence of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. Retrograde menstruation contributes to the endometrial tissue implantation and the establishment of endometriotic lesions at ectopic sites. It has been suggested that the endometriotic lesions are rich in angiogenic growth factors, while they have an essential role in survival and invasion of these cells.

Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of social factors on anxiety, depression level, and psychological trauma of ObGyn residents during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the impact of COVID-19 to residency training program.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in three institutions in Indonesia: the University of Indonesia, the University of Lambung Mangkurat, and the University of Syiah Kuala.
Background: Recently, as a delayed childbearing trend is emerging in modern women's adulthood, diminished reproductive potential due to age-related changes is more prevalent. Reduction in the abundance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copies and circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) have been separately reported with aging, contributing to the decrease in successful reproduction. However, there are limited reports on the impact of age on mtDNA and AMH in the same individual and whether mtDNA copy numbers are influenced by age and AMH.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 238 women undergoing IVF who had AMH levels > 4 ng/ml. Participants were divided into two groups: PCOS and non-PCOS.
Background: Endometriosis is a condition associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and possibly with decreased quality of life as well as psychiatric disorder. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the association between pain characteristic, psychiatric disorder, and quality of life in women with endometriosis.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done involving 160 women with medical diagnosis of endometriosis.
Background: Endometriosis affects women in many ways from infertility until reducing ovarian reserve. In women who do not want to immediately conceive, ovarium cortex cryopreservation may be an option for preserving fertility.
Case Presentation: Two patients with chief complaints dysmenorrhea and abdominal enlargement, then checked Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) level and Ca-125 level.
Background: The Family Planning (FP) Program is a national method of controlling population growth rates while improving maternal and child health. Indonesia, as one of the largest countries, has abysmally low contraceptive coverage. One of its main issues is unmet contraceptive needs.

The concept can improve the patient satisfaction with care performed as well as the efficacy of the treatment. In addition, this concept can also lead to improve collaboration between patient and care provider, ultimately supporting a more cost-effective health-care scheme.

Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) residents may most likely be the first line professionals to integrate fertility preservation technologies into their practice which plays an important task in giving an understanding of the relationship between age and fertility for patients.
Objective: This study aims to assess OB/GYN resident knowledge and beliefs regarding age-related fertility decline, intentions, and religion aspect toward fertility preservation.
