Women with undiagnosed endometriosis visit the doctor more frequently
Beginning as far back as ten years before even being diagnosed, women with endometriosis utilise the healthcare system more than women without this chronic illness. Research sheds new light on widespread delays in diagnosis.

AI could shorten the diagnostic journey of millions suffering from endometriosis
by University of Surrey Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The quality of life of millions suffering from endometriosis—a painful disease where sensitive tissue grows outside of the uterus—could be improved by a new artificial intelligence (AI) system with technology developed by the University of Adelaide in South Australia, in partnership with researchers from the University of Surrey. The IMAGENDO...

New research shows potential to reduce pain in women suffering from endometriosis
by Elsevier Diagram of neuroinflammation in endometriosis. Researchers propose that IL-1β activates IL-1 type 1 membrane receptor (IL-1R1) in endometrial stromal cells, predominantly via the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, to promote neurotrophin and neurotrophin receptor (NTR) production and signaling, which in turn activate neurogenesis and pain. Parallel pathways promote IL-6 production and IL-1β autoregulation, potentially...

Understanding endometriosis: Signs, symptoms and treatment
KADE HAN, LMH HEALTH photo by: Shutterstock When the layer of cells that lines the inside of the uterus grows in areas it’s not supposed to, it causes a painful chronic condition known as endometriosis. It affects about one in 10 women, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and it’s a common cause...

Endometriosis has ‘significant genetic overlap’ with chronic pain conditions
Endometriosis is a disease that can cause pain and infertility, and currently, there is no cure for it. Researchers at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom studied DNA samples from thousands of female participants to see if there is a genetic component underlying endometriosis. The researchers collaborated with 25 teams internationally to obtain and...

Study reveals the shared genetic basis for endometriosis and other pain conditions
Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc. Mar 13 2023 University of Queensland researchers have contributed to the largest ever genetic study of endometriosis, finding new data about the variants that increase risk of the disease. The study found genetic risk factors for endometriosis are also associated with other chronic pain types such as migraine, back pain and multi-site...
