Gynecological Endocrinology, 10/30/09
Luisi S et al. – The data collected from Italy showed that around 3 million women are affected by endoemtriosis and the condition was predominantly found in women of reproductive age (50% of women were in the 29–39 age range), only 25% of women were asymptomatic. The associated symptoms can create an impact in general physical, mental, and social well–being. Endometriosis is associated with severe dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, ovulation pain, cyclical, or perimenstrual symptoms, with or without abnormal bleeding, infertility, and chronic fatigue. The annual cost for hospital admission can be estimated to be in a total around 54 million euros.
