          Abstract

          Abstract Objectives: to describe the epidemiological and clinical profile of women with endometriosis and to determine the association with the prognostic characteristics of the disease. Methods: retrospective descriptive study involving 237 women attended at two referral hospitals for endometriosis, between 2011 and 2017. Associations between groups were estimated using logistic regression models. Results: most women (65.4%) were of reproductive age (29-39 years), with a body mass index in the range of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 and a high prevalence (23-81%) of symptoms of the disease, with 49.5% being infertile. The average time of diagnosis was 5 years. Ovarian endometrioma and/or deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) were the most frequent type of endometriosis (87%), and 59% of patients were in the III/IV stage of the disease. Approximately 87% of women with surgical diagnosis were aged over 30, married (70%) and had lower parity. Dyspareunia was negatively associated with superficial endometriosis. Infertility was positively associated with age (30-39 years) and DIE in the uterine tubes; dysmenorrhea with DIE in the uterosacral ligament; cyclic intestinal complaints with DIE in the rectosigmoid and intestine, and with DIE classification and III/IVstage. Conclusions: knowing the epidemiological and clinical profile of Brazilian women with endometriosis can help in diagnosis and treatment planning.

          Resumo Objetivos: descrever o perfil epidemiológico e clínico de mulheres com endometriose e determinar a associação com as características prognósticas da doença. Métodos: estudo descritivo retrospectivo envolvendo 237 mulheres atendidas em dois hospitais de referência em endometriose, no período entre 2011 e 2017. As associações entre os grupos foram estimadas utilizando modelos de regressão logística. Resultados: a maioria das mulheres (65,4%) estava em idade reprodutiva (29-39 anos), com índice de massa corporal entre 18,5-24,9 kg/m2 e alta prevalência (23-81%) dos sintomas clínicos da doença, sendo que 49,5% eram inférteis. O tempo médio de diagnóstico foi de 5 anos. O endometrioma ovariano e/ou endometriose profunda infiltrativa (EPI) foram os tipos mais frequentes de endometriose (87%), sendo que 59% das pacientes estavam no estágio III/IVda doença. Aproximadamente 87% das mulheres com diagnóstico cirúrgico apresentavam idade acima dos 30 anos, eram casadas (70%) e apresentavam menor paridade. A dispareunia foi associada negativamente à endometriose superficial. A infertilidade foi associada positivamente com a idade (30-39 anos) e com a EPI nas tubas uterinas; a dismenorreia com a EPI no ligamento uterosacral; as queixas intestinais cíclicas com a EPI no retosigmóide e intestino, e com a classificação EPI e estágio III/IV. Conclusões: conhecer o perfil epidemiológico e clínico das mulheres brasileiras com endometriose pode auxiliar no diagnóstico e no planejamento do tratamento.

            Impact of endometriosis on women’s lives: a qualitative study

            Background This study aimed to explore women’s experiences of the impact of endometriosis and whether there are differences across three age groups. Methods A qualitative descriptive design was conducted using semi-structured focus group discussions with 35 Australian women with endometriosis, in three age groups. All tape-recorded discussions were transcribed verbatim and read line by line to extract meaningful codes and categories using NVivo 9 software through a thematic analysis approach. Categories were then clustered into meaningful themes. Results Participants’ ages ranged from 17 to 53 years and had a history of 2 to 40 years living with endometriosis, with an average delay time to diagnosis of 8.1 years. Two main themes emerged: (1) experiences of living with endometriosis, and (2) impact of endometriosis on women’s lives, with 14 discrete categories. The results showed similarities and differences of the impact between the three age groups. The most highlighted impacts were on marital/sexual relationships, social life, and on physical and psychological aspects in all three age groups, but with different orders of priority. Education was the second most highlighted for the 16–24 years, life opportunities and employment for the 25–34 years; and financial impact for those 35 years and above. Conclusions Our findings show that endometriosis impacts negatively on different aspects of women’s lives. A better understanding of these findings could help to decrease the negative impact of endometriosis by guiding service delivery and future research to meet more effectively the needs of women and teenagers with this condition.
