BACKGROUND: One gynecological disorder which is often a mystery to premenopausal women who are affected is endometriosis, a benign condition characterized by ectopic endometrium growing outside the uterus but behaving as if it is still within the uterus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Hospital records of 226 women who consulted for fertility management at Nordica Fertility Center were surveyed retrospectively. These women were stratified by age into <35 years and >35 years and by BMI into <18.5 (underweight), 18.5-24.9 (normal), 25.0-29.9 (overweight) and >30 (obese). There were 113 who had laparoscopic diagnosis of endometriosis and 113 without endometriosis but just infertility. STATA 13 statistical software was used for analysis of data.
RESULTS: The mean (±sd) age of the women in the study was 34.3 (4.9) with no significant difference among those with (33.9 (4.3)) and without (34.6 (5.4)) endometriosis. There was a significant difference (t=-3.36, P-value=0.0005) in the mean BMI (Kg/m2) of women with endometriosis (25.8±4.9) compared to that of women without endometriosis (27.9±4.5). The probability of endometriosis among normal weight women was higher at age <35 years (OR=2.76, 95% Confidence Interval 1.33,5.73) than at age >35 years (OR=1.59, 95% Confidence Interval 0.62, 4.10). The mean (±SD) parity among those with endometriosis (0.13±0.34) was significantly lower (t-test=2.31; P-value=0.01) than that among women without endometriosis (0.28 ± 0.60). Primary infertility was more prevalent (62.0%) than secondary infertility (38.0%) among those with endometriosis while secondary infertility was more prevalent (55.8%) than primary infertility (44.3%) among those without endometriosis. The mean age (years) at menarche of women without endometriosis (13.3±1.6) was significantly higher (t-test=1.88, P-value=0.03) than that among those with endometriosis (12.9±1). Those with endometriosis were most likely to have dysmenorrhea alone, menorrhagia alone and both dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia concurrently than those without the disease.
CONCLUSION: Anthropometric and abnormal menstrual profile of patients presenting with pelvic pain, co-morbidity of dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia, infertility and low parity can guide clinicians and gynecologist to make early and proper diagnosis of endometriosis for better treatment outcomes.
