BackgroundPerimenopause is a natural physiological transition associated with declining ovarian function and bothersome systemic symptoms. Menopausal hormone therapy (HT) remains the primary treatment, but safety concerns persist. Commercial Chinese polyherbal preparations (CCPPs) combined with HT are increasingly used, yet comparative evidence remains limited. This network meta-analysis (NMA) ev…

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a promising nonhormonal therapy for women experiencing Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a promising nonhormonal therapy for women experiencing Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). GSM is a common chronic condition caused by declining estrogen levels that affects the vulva, vagina and urinary tract, leading to symptoms such as vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and recurrent vaginal and urinary tract infection…

Pregnant women with a severe form of nausea face increased risks for several pregnancy and birth complications, according to a new Stanford Medicine study of 2.5 million California births.

The female reproductive tract (FRT), particularly the vagina, has traditionally been regarded as a sterile environment. However, it is now recognized that the vagina is a complex, dynamic ecosystem dominated by Lactobacillus species, which maintain internal homeostasis through acid production, competitive exclusion, and immune regulation. Microbial dysbiosis, characterized by a loss of Lactobacil…

A pilot randomized controlled trial found that vaginal bromocriptine reduced menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, menstrual duration, and cycle irregularity in women with adenomyosis compared with routine treatment.

BackgroundPelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent disease among women, and immune cell and telomere have potential associations with the pathogenesis of POP. The identification and validation of immune cell-related genes (ICRGs) and telomere-related genes (TRGs) in POP are of great significance for elucidating its mechanisms, screening diagnostic key genes, and identifying therapeutic targets.…

This narrative review explores contemporary therapeutic options and critically assesses surgical results and in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes in women affected by endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and/or adenomyosis. A literature search was conducted in PubMed for English-language publications up to September 2025. Out of 350 screened …
