Pesticides and infertility study in endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how pesticides might affect fertility in women with endometriosis, focusing on stress markers and gut/genital bacteria. You will provide samples and answer questions so researchers can compare women with and without endometriosis.

This study looks at how certain cells in the womb lining (called decidual cells) interact with immune cells (natural killer cells) in women with deep endometriosis, compared to women without the condition. It aims to understand the disease better, which could lead to improved treatments in the future.
This study looks at how certain environmental chemicals (called persistent organic pollutants) in your blood might relate to the severity of your endometriosis. By taking a blood sample and reviewing your MRI, researchers hope to understand more about the condition, which could help improve care in the future.
This study looks at how eating patterns may relate to fertility and getting pregnant in people with endometriosis. You may be invited to share information about your diet and fertility background to help researchers learn what could improve outcomes.
This study collects tissue samples during surgery to create a detailed map of genes in endometriosis. It may help researchers understand why some people have more severe symptoms.
This study looks at how hormones and chemicals in the environment may affect endometriosis and vaginal health. Researchers will compare women with newly diagnosed deep endometriosis to women without the condition to find possible links.
This study looks at how the immune system and gut bacteria affect endometriosis. It may help find new treatments. You can join if you are having surgery for endometriosis or for another benign gynecological issue.
