Antioxidant Supplementation Reduces Endometriosis Related Pelvic Pain in Humans
Abstract
We had previously suggested that women with endometriosis have increased oxidative stress in the peritoneal cavity. In order to assess whether antioxidant supplementation would ameliorate endometriosis associated symptoms, we performed a randomized, placebo controlled trial of antioxidant vitamins (Vitamin E and C) in women with pelvic pain and endometriosis. Fifty nine women, ages 19–41 years, with pelvic pain and history of endometriosis and/or infertility were recruited for this study. Patients ...

A prospective cohort study of Vitamins B, C, E, and multivitamin intake and endometriosis
Abstract
Purpose—Diet is a potentially modifiable risk factor for endometriosis. It has been hypothesized that vitamins C, E, and the B vitamins may influence factors involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, such as oxidative stress and steroid hormone metabolism. In this large, prospective cohort study, we examined the relation between intake of vitamins C, E, the B vitamins, and the use of multivitamin supplements and diagnosis of endometriosis.
Methods—Data were collected from women in ...

The Impact of Endometriosis across the Lifespan of Women: Foreseeable Research and Therapeutic Prospects
Introduction
Although a number of causal or exacerbatory pathological mechanisms seem to underlie initiation and persistence or
progression of endometriosis [1–12] there is no debate that this disease features a chronic inflammatory state within
the peritoneal cavity [9, 10]. The extent to which this disease process impacts the health of women surely relates to
inflammation within this anatomical/physiological compartment. As a corollary, it is plausible that systemic chronic
i...

The disease provides a wide range of symptoms and affects women’s quality of life and reproductive functions. Despite research efforts and extensive investigations, this disease’s pathogenesis and molecular basis remain unclear. Conventional endometriosis treatment implies surgical resection, hormonal ...

Self-management and psychological-sexological interventions in patients with endometriosis: strategies, outcomes, and integration into clinical care
Abstract: Endometriosis has a multifactorial etiology. The onset and progression of the disease are believed to be related to different pathogenic mechanisms. Among them, the environment and lifestyle may play significant roles. Diet, dietary supplements, physical exercise, osteopathy, massage, acupuncture, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and Chinese herbal medicine may represent a complementary and feasible approach in the ...

Mediterranean diet and risk of endometrial cancer: a pooled analysis of three italian case-control studies
Background: Some components of the Mediterranean diet have favourable effects on endometrial cancer, and the
Mediterranean diet as a whole has been shown to have a beneficial role on various neoplasms.
Methods: We analysed this issue pooling data from three case-control studies carried out between 1983 and 2006 in various Italian areas and in the Swiss Canton of Vaud. Cases were 1411 women with incident, histologically confirmed endometrial cancer, and controls were 3668 patients in ...
