SUMMARY:The Overlapping Impact of Pelvic Pain & GI Disorders in Endometriosis
DESCRIPTION:Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects more than 200 million women worldwide. When endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus\, lesions can form on other organs throughout the body and cause severe pelvic and back pain\, as well as pain between periods and with intercourse\, heavy menstrual bleeding\, and infertility. In fact\, 1 in 10 women have endometriosis and 30-50% of individuals with endometriosis experience infertility. \nAlthough endometriosis can begin in adolescence\, it often goes undiagnosed and inadequately treated for an average of 6.7 years or longer. Endometriosis is associated with a high burden of comorbidities\, increased use of health care resources\, and excessive costs\, particularly for younger patients whose health care needs may differ widely from the older population. \nIn fact\, it is common for several endometriosis symptoms to overlap with bulk symptoms and gastrointestinal disorders\, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Crohn’s disease\, resulting in misdiagnoses and complications managing symptoms. \nSWHR hosted a webinar to review the impact of endometriosis on women’s health and highlight the diagnosis\, treatment\, and co-management of gut-related comorbidities\, with a special emphasis on adolescent and young women living with endometriosis.
