“…Endometriosis is a chronic and often debilitating condition that affects an estimated 10–15% of women of reproductive age worldwide [ 1 ]. It is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, which can cause severe pain, infertility, and a range of other symptoms [ 2 ]. Affected individuals also have an increased risk of non-reproductive sequelae, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions, gastrointestinal and urologic symptoms, multi focal pain, migraines, and ovarian and breast cancer.…”

Unhealthy behaviors may contribute to the development and the progression of chronic diseases with negative consequences on patients’ quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between unhealthy behaviors (physical inactivity, tobacco consumption, and alcohol consumption) and health-related quality of life, measured with the SF-36 questionnaire, in women with endometriosis. To achieve this, data from a previous cross-sectional web survey among Italian adult women were analyzed. A total of 1045 responses were included in the analysis. Among the SF-36 subscales, the lowest score was recorded in the energy/fatigue domain: mean = 35.536 (Standard Deviation = 18.452). Smoking and physically inactive women had lower scores than non-smoking and physically active women, respectively, in each SF-36 domain. Women who drank more than one unit of alcohol a day, on average, reported lower scores than women with an alcohol intake <1 unit a day, for the following SF-36 domains: role limitations due to physical health, role limitations due to emotional problems, and emotional well-being. The multivariable analysis evidenced that employment, physical inactivity, and tobacco consumption were significant predictors for each SF-36 domain (p < 0.05). Physical inactivity and tobacco consumption had negative effects on the SF-36 subscales. Our results showed the need to monitor unhealthy behaviors to improve the overall well-being of women with endometriosis. Tailored strategies addressing smoking cessation, promoting physical activity, and moderating alcohol intake may aid in enhancing health-related quality of life in this vulnerable population.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to endometrium grows outside the uterus. It affects the social and psychological life of women. Objective: To evaluate the impact of endometriosis diagnosis on women's mental health. Methods: In this cross-sectional study basal data, Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30) statuses, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale scores were collected from 200 sub-fertile women who were sampled using a non-probability sampling technique. Frequency distribution and chi-square (X2) analysis were performed using IBM SPSS® version 26.0. Results: Out of 200 sub-fertile women 28 (14%) had endometriosis. Positive endometriosis significantly correlated with age (0.09<0.1). The endometriosis-related health statuses significantly correlated with anxiety and depression with two-sided asymptomatic significances of 0.007 (<0.05) and 0.000 (< 0.05) respectively. The highest prevalence of severe anxiety and depression was present in women with bad possible health profiles related to endometriosis. Conclusions: It was concluded that endometriosis aggravates with age and its positive diagnosis has a strong negative impact on the social and psychological health of the patients.
