Background: The prevalence of reaches up to 5% in women younger than 40 years. Therefore, the fertility preservation should be the goal of the clinical practice in women with desire of pregnancy and low-risk features. The aim of this study is to compare oncological and reproductive outcomes of different hormonal therapies in FST of EC.
Methods: A retrospective single-center study recruiting patients with presumed FIGO STAGE IA endometrioid G1 EC from 2005 to 2020 was performed. We assessed outcomes for three different therapeutic options: GnRHa + LNG-IUD vs. MA + LNG-IUD vs. MA + LNG-IUD + MET.
Results: In total, 75 patients were enrolled and followed up for a median of 45 months. Complete response (CR) was achieved in 75% of patients at 12 months. Although not statistically significant, we reported an increasing rate of CR from the regimen with GnRHa to the one with MA + MET (65% vs. 83%). We showed a statistically significant lower risk of recurrence in women treated with MA + LNG-IUD + MET, when compared to GnRHa + LNG-IUD regimen. The pregnancy rate was 74% and live birth rate was 42%, with no differences among regimens.
Conclusions: FST is a safe and effective option in women who desire to preserve fertility.

Tiredness/fatigue and sexuality in everyday life: Findings from an ecological momentary assessment.
J Neural Transm (Vienna)

Tiredness may be associated with increased or decreased sexual experience and behavior while fatigue seems to have a predominantly negative effect, although evidence is scarce. This ecological momentary assessment study is the first to examine associations between tiredness or fatigue and concurrent / subsequent sexual desire or sexual arousal and previous / subsequent sexual activity in daily life, including event-based measurements and considering gender differences. Healthy heterosexual individuals (n = 63), aged between 19 and 32 years and in a relationship, indicated their tiredness, general fatigue, physical fatigue, sexual desire, and sexual arousal on an iPod seven times daily over 14 days, and any event-based occurrences of sexual activity.

Background: While it is well established that trying to conceive while experiencing infertility and undergoing fertility treatment is associated with anxiety, little is known about the mental health toll of trying to conceive without fertility treatment. Minimal contact with the healthcare system while trying to conceive without treatment contributes to low rates of detection and support for this population.
Objective: This research aims to provide formative insights into the prevalence of mental health distress and desire for emotional support among people who are trying to conceive without treatment, and how this compares to people who are considering or using fertility treatment.
Sexual pleasure in older age: haptic visuality and female eroticism in three contemporary Spanish films.

This article explores the representation of female sexuality in later life through the lens of three contemporary Spanish films: La vida era eso (2020), Destello bravío (2021), and Mamacruz (2023). Drawing from feminist aging studies, film theory, and concepts such as haptic visuality and clitoral sexuality, the study challenges the patriarchal, ageist, and phallocentric narratives that have long shaped cultural understandings of older women's erotic lives. Through close readings of these films, the article demonstrates how they subvert the dominant heteronormative gaze by foregrounding sensory pleasure, autoeroticism, and the reawakening of desire in older women.
