Research Overview

Endometrium Conditions and Benign Endometrial Diseases.

Benign endometrial diseases refer to a group of non-cancerous medical conditions that affect the endometrium. These conditions can cause a range of symptoms and health issues, and while they are not cancerous, they can still significantly impact women's quality of life and reproductive health.

Our research group combines clinical and basic research, including personalized medicine and NGS technologies, to gather a better understanding of endometrial conditions and to develop novel therapeutic solutions and improvements of tools for diagnosis for diseases affecting millions of women worldwide.

Our main areas of research include:

Endometriosis: Affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide, endometriosis involves the presence of endometrial-like tissue at ectopic sites. This tissue can cause pain, inflammation, and the formation of adhesions or scar tissue. It often leads to pelvic pain, painful periods, and fertility problems.

Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue into the muscular wall of the uterus. This condition can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and enlargement of the uterus.

Chronic Endometritis: Characterized by a chronic inflammation of the endometrial lining. It can result from infections or immune system disorders and may cause abnormal bleeding and infertility.
