High risks of somatic pathology in women with chronic endometritis

This prospective clinical analytical study evaluated risks for somatic pathology and assessed life quality in 42 women of reproductive age with morphologically verified chronic endometritis (diagnosed >1 year), compared with 33 practically healthy age-matched women seeking contraceptive choice. Using clinical/gynecologic assessment, detection of concomitant somatic diseases, and SF-36 quality-of-life scoring, the authors found that women with chronic endometritis had somatic pathologies more frequently than controls, including chronic gastritis, functional bowel disorders, gallbladder diseases, urinary system diseases, and chronic rhinopharyngitis (relative risks 1.25–4.62; p<0.05), alongside lower life quality, endurance, and higher fatigue. The paper explicitly limits interpretation by focusing on a selected subset without acute somatic pathology or pelvic inflammatory exacerbation at the time of enrollment. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it studies chronic endometritis in the reproductive tract and its systemic somatic comorbidity and quality-of-life impacts relevant to endometriosis research.
