Abstract

Purpose

Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition. The aim was to describe the self-reported disease characteristics and factors associated with the use of different treatment modalities among women with surgically diagnosed endometriosis.

Method

A cross-sectional online survey featuring 58 fixed-response items measuring disease characteristics, self-efficacy, health service usage, and treatment approaches was conducted. Logistic regression was used to explore the factors associated with different treatment modalities.

Results

Complete data were available from 620 respondents. Average delay to diagnosis was 6.4 years. Despite medical and surgical intervention, 65.8% reported dysmenorrhea and 61.1% reported dyspareunia, and 82.7% reported chronic pelvic pain in the last 3 months. Respondents had consulted an average of three different health practitioner specialties in the previous 12 months for their endometriosis.

Discussion

A chronic disease management plan (CDMP) may be a useful mechanism to coordinate multidisciplinary care among women who experience ongoing symptoms.

结果

620 名受访者提供了完整的数据。诊断的平均延迟为 6.4 年。尽管进行了药物和手术干预,65.8% 的人报告痛经,61.1% 的人报告性交困难,82.7% 的人报告过去 3 个月的慢性盆腔疼痛。在过去的 12 个月中,受访者平均咨询了三个不同的健康从业者专业的子宫内膜异位症。
