Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 60/No. 6 (October 15, 1999) A patient information handout on endometriosis, written by the author of this article, is provided on page 1767. Endometriosis is a progressive disease affecting 5 to 10 percent of women. It can cause dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, low back pain and infertility. A definitive diagnosis can be made only by means of laparoscopy. Medical treatment designed to interfere with ovulation generally provides effective pain relief, but the recurrence rate following cessation of therapy is high, and this type of treatment will not resolve infertility. Surgical treatment improves pregnancy rates and is the preferred initial treatment for infertility caused by endometriosis. Surgery also appears to provide better long-term pain relief than medical treatment. Bilateral oophorectomy and hysterectomy are treatment options for patients with intractable pain, if childbearing is no longer desired. (Am Fam Physician 1999;60:1753-68.) E ndometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or other abnormal sites, causing pain or infertility. The disease tends to progress under the repetitive influence of the menstrual cycle. Interrupting or decreasing menstruation is the mainstay of medical therapy. The goal of surgery is to remove endometrial lesions. Endometriosis is likely to remain problematic as long as menstruation persists. Fortunately, symptoms can be modulated or alleviated with appropriate treatment.

Extractions: It is estimated that endometriosis affects between 10 and 15 percent of all women of reproductive age. It occurs when tissue similar to the tissue that lines the uterus (endometrium) grows in other areas of a woman's body. Although it is abnormal for endometrial tissue to grow outside of the uterus, endometriosis is not a form of cancer. Endometriosis can occur at any time after puberty. It is most commonly diagnosed in a woman's twenties or early thirties although it can develop at any stage during a woman's reproductive years. A woman can even experience endometriosis after menopause, although this is less common. Although it is possible to have endometriosis without symptoms, the condition often causes painful periods and other pain symptoms. Endometriosis may be associated with

Endometriosis is a condition that occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found outside its normal location. Common locations of endometrial implants include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and ligaments that support the uterus and tissue covering the bladder and rectum . The location of the endometrial implants and the way in which the lesions affect the pelvic organs contribute to the symptoms adolescent and adult women may have. Some teens have a lot of endometriosis and have very little pain, while others who have a small amount of endometriosis have severe pain. While we don't know what causes endometriosis, we do know the pain experienced by teens is very real. What are the symptoms of endometriosis? Endometriosis causes different symptoms in young women.

Can anything treat endometriosis? ... What happens during and after menopause? Printer-friendly version Email this article The word "endometriosis" (say: "end-oh-me-tree-oh-sis") means a problem with the lining of the uterus. The lining is called the endometrium. Normally, every month when you have your period, the lining (which is also called endometrial tissue) comes out in your menstrual flow. Endometrial tissue is usually only inside your uterus. However, if you have endometriosis, tissue from the lining of the uterus moves through the fallopian tubes and gets on your ovaries, in your pelvis, on your bladder or in other areas. When you have your period, this tissue swells and bleeds, just like the lining of your uterus. This is often painful, and scar tissue can form in your pelvic area. Return to top Endometriosis may hurt, but it doesn't cause cancer or affect your overall health, although it might make it harder to get pregnant.

Extractions: Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease affecting about 7% of reproductive-aged women -approximately 5 million Americans. Although they may suffer significant symptoms ranging from pelvic pain to infertility, most of these women do not know that they have endometriosis,. Physicians' understanding of (1) the clinical presentation of endometriosis, (2) its proper diagnosis and staging, and (3) the management of its sequele have improved dramatically over the past few years. The result has been better, more cost-effective patient care. Definition Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue (normally found only on the inside of the uterus) in locations outside the uterus. This tissue reacts to estrogen and progesterone. The usual location is in the pelvis (on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, or bladder), but endometriosis has also been found in sites outside the pelvis (including omentum, small intestine, appendix, anterior abdominal wall, surgical scars, diaphragm, lung, urinary tract, and musculoskeletal and neural systems). This endometrial tissue reacts to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, just as endometrial tissue lining the inside of the uterus reacts during the normal ovulatory cycle. Prevalence and Incidence The prevalence and incidence of endometriosis depends on the population of women being studied, ranging from 1 to 50%. It has been reported to occur in 10 - 15% of women undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy, 2 - 5% of women undergoing tubal sterilization, 30 -40% of infertile women having laparoscopy, and 14 - 53% of women with pelvic pain.

Extractions: "Trying to start page 2 on this thread." Talk About It Endometriosis can be defined as a nonmalignant disorder in which functioning endometrial tissue is present outside the uterus . The incidence of this disease ranges from 10-15% in women between the ages of 25 and 44 who are actively menstruating, but it also occurs in teenagers. It is estimated that 25-50% of infertile women have this disease. The incidence is higher in first degree relatives of women with endometriosis, which suggests that heredity may play a role. In addition, there is also a higher prevalence of the disease in women who delay childbearing or who are of Asian descent. In women affected with endometriosis, endometrial tissue builds up in areas outside of the uterus - these areas are known as "ectopic implants". Ectopic implants may be found on the outside of the uterus, inside and outside the

Endometriosis can involve the bladder or completely obstruct the ureter, resulting in the loss of kidney function.

Extractions: Background The endometrium is the tissue that lines the inside of the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is a disease state in which some of this tissue has spread elsewhere - such as to the ovaries, or elsewhere in the abdominal cavity. Endometriosis causes pain in some women and can also cause infertility 5-10% of all women have endometriosis. Most of these women are not infertile. 30-40% of infertile women have endometriosis. Diagnosis of endometriosis The only way to be sure whether a woman has endometriosis is to perform a surgical procedure called laparoscopy that allows us look inside the abdominal cavity with a narrow scope. Sometimes we strongly suspect that the disease is present based on the woman's history of very painful menstrual cycles, painful intercourse, etc., or based on the physical examination of the woman or ultrasound findings.
