Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological pathologies. Despite its benign nature, it is linked to extensive clinical, social, and health financial burden, mainly due to its elusiveness and chronic pathway of development. Even so current research efforts, diagnosis and treatment options remain challenging. Thus, a prominent research area exists to be explored with the expectation of improving the way we approach and treat this disease.
In the past Special Issue (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/O71E5E0N2A), we provided a collection of nine manuscripts covering various relevant topics related to endometriosis, ranging from psychological and mental health issues to the main topic of infertility concerns in endometriosis as a chronic disease, finally also addressing research on an immunologic fingerprint common to endometriosis-related comorbidities.
This new Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge of endometriosis. This should cover all main issues of both endometriosis and adenomyosis, including diagnosis, classification systems, and conservative and surgical therapies for pain and infertility concerns. Manuscripts approaching less common topics, such as endometriosis during adolescence and menopause, extra-pelvic endometriosis, primary and secondary prevention strategies, new non-invasive diagnostic approaches, and new therapies are warmly encouraged. We welcome both original research articles and reviews.
