“…Increased risk of coronary heart disease, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia is also associated with endometriosis . In addition, the pain can negatively affect appetite, affecting BMI and a woman's quality of life Silva et al, 2020). Treating endometriosis pain using NSAIDs can cause side effects such as vomiting and diarrhea, resulting in a decreased tolerance to food .…”

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue, in the form of glands and stroma outside of the uterus. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body mass index, waist to hip circumference ratio, and mid-upper arm circumference with the incidence of endometriosis. This study was analytical observational research with a case-control. The subjects were 63 patients diagnosed with endometriosis through laparoscopic action and 63 normal women who both met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The measurement result of body mass index (BMI) in kg/mÂ² is categorized into â‰¤25 and >25, waist to hip ratio is categorized to <0.85 and â‰¥0.85, mid-upper arm circumference in centimeters to â‰¤23.0 and >23.0. The result showed the relationship of body mass index, waist to hip ratio, and mid-upper arm circumference with endometriosis incidence obtained BMI with endometriosis (b=0.824, CI 95%=0.99 to 5.25, p=0.053), waist to hip ratio (b=0.893, CI 95%=1.03 to 5.82, p=0.044), and mid-upper arm circumference (b=-0.246, CI 95%=0.10 to 6.09, p=0.814). There is a significant relationship between BMI and waist to hip ratio with the incidence of endometriosis. There is no significant relationship between mid-upper arm circumference with the incidence of endometriosis.

Background: Endometriosis is a gynecological, multifactorial condition that affects women's life quality, especially due to the pain inherent to it. Pain is caused by physical and psychological aspects; therefore, several factors must be analyzed, aiming to treat the whole. Conventional, drug or surgical treatments are the most used; however, the search for alternative therapeutic methods is growing. Objective: To analyze the approach to pain in women with endometriosis, seeking a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of this disease, its impact on life quality, as well as the means of treatments in use and innovations in this field. Methods: Systematic literature review, conducted in the Virtual Health Library databases between 2010 and 2021, restricted to articles in English and Portuguese with the descriptors: Endometriosis, Pain, and Treatment. After reading the abstracts, 197 articles were found, and, after reading them, 59 articles were selected. Results: This review analyzed 59 scientific studies that rigorously met the previously established characteristics in the sample selection. The synthesis included the following aspects: author/year of publication, article title, objective, type of study and database. Related factors such as acute or chronic pain, late diagnosis, discrediting symptomatic complaints and trivialization by health professionals have a profound impact on the physical and mental health of women with endometriosis. On the other hand, there are several classes of drugs, surgical procedures, and alternative therapies available for pain management. Conclusion: Given the context addressed, a certain need is suggested for health professionals to better understand the disease and adopt new behaviors or improve existing ones, such as reception, active listening, early diagnosis and comprehensive and individualized treatment. In addition, further studies are needed regarding alternative therapies, seeking to expand the scientific evidence of their benefits.

“…An inferior BMI is not only a EMS development risk, but also a predisposing factor for severe endometriosis [21]. Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is noted for its association with a lower BMI [20][21][22]. A metaanalysis of 11 studies found that a higher BMI coincided with a lower EMS risk.…”

Endometriosis is a chronic, painful, estrogen-related inflammatory disease that affects approximately 10% of the female population. Endometriosis has a significant negative impact on quality of life. Nutrition may be involved in the development and severity of endometriosis. The purpose of this paper is to discuss in detail the nutritional recommendations for patients with endometriosis. This article discusses the importance of nutrients such as polyphenols, vitamins C, D and E, PUFAs, and iron in the development of endometriosis. Alternative diets, such as the Mediterranean, anti-inflammatory, vegetarian, low-nickel and low-FODMAP diets, have also been presented in the context of their potential beneficial effects on the course of endometriosis.
