In our UK Resources, someone shared with us when you can expect to hear about the surgical findings after you’ve had surgery.
In Inflammation with Endometriosis, we look at how mast cells can affect the inflammatory process in endometriosis.
In Teens and Endometriosis, we added a couple of studies:
- Audebert, A., Lecointre, L., Afors, K., Koch, A., Wattiez, A., & Akladios, C. (2015). Adolescent endometriosis: report of a series of 55 cases with a focus on clinical presentation and long-term issues. Journal of minimally invasive gynecology, 22(5), 834-840. Retrieved from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25850071/
“Adolescent endometriosis is not a rare condition. In our study a familial history was reported in more than one-third of patients. Among those patients treated for DIE, there was a trend for higher rates of recurrences (symptoms or lesions) that required repeat laparoscopy. However, the impact on subsequent fertility appeared to have been limited.”
- Song, X. C., Yu, X., Luo, M., Yu, Q., & Zhu, L. (2020). Clinical characteristics and postoperative symptoms of adolescent endometriosis among 85 cases. Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology. Retrieved from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32619717/
“Pelvic pain was the main symptom in adolescent endometriosis and was greatly improved after surgery. It should also be noted that genital malformation may be an important factor in younger adolescent endometriosis.”
