Abstract

Descrever o perfil epidemiológico e clínico de pacientes inférteis com endometriose. Estudo transversal que avaliou 450 prontuários de mulheres que procuraram tratamentos de reprodução assistida entre outubro de 2006 e maio de 2012. Analisaram‐se sintomas como dismenorreia, intensidade da dor, alterações intestinais e doenças associadas. O software estatístico usado foi o Stata 11.0. A mediana de idade foi 34 anos. A dismenorreia acometeu 84,2% das pacientes, de intensidade grave em 40,4%. Alterações intestinais presentes em 54,4%. Dentre as doenças ginecológicas associadas, destaca‐se mioma em 23,3%. Em relação às doenças em tratamento, destaca‐se a metabólica (8,4%). Sabe‐se que a dismenorreia é o sintoma mais prevalente nas mulheres com endometriose, assim como alterações intestinais, presente em 6% a 30% das mulheres com a endometriose profunda. Justifica‐se a relação com outras doenças também estrogênio‐dependentes, como miomas e pólipos, devido ao endométrio dessas mulheres ter aromatases p450 e cyp19, que gerariam ambiente hiperestrogênico. No grupo estudado de mulheres brasileiras, o perfil de idade compreende a quarta década de vida, com infertilidade predominantemente primária, significativa prevalência de dismenorreia grave e associação com pólipos e mioma. To describe epidemiological and clinical aspects of infertile patients with endometriosis. Cross section study of 450 medical records of infertile patients with endometriosis from October, 2006 to May, 2012. Symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, pain intensity, intestinal disorders where analyzed, as well as, associated diseases and treatments. The statistical software used was Stata 11.0. The median age was 34 years. 84.2% of patients presented dysmenorrhea and 40.4% had severe pain intensity. Intestinal disorders was found in 54.4%. From the associated gynecologic diseases, 23.3% had myoma. Metabolic disease was found in 8.4% among the diseases in treatment. It is known that dysmenorrhea is the most prevalent symptom in women with endometriosis, as well as intestinal disorders, that can be found between 6% and 30% women with severe endometriosis. Other studies have demonstrated the relationship of estrogen‐dependent disease and women with endometrial endometriosis with aromatase enzyme P450 CYP19 mutations; which generate a hyperestrogenic environment, contributing to the development of polyps and myomas. The profile of these patients was traced as being in the fourth decade of life, with predominantly primary infertility with prevalent symptoms of severe dysmenorrhea and association with polyps and myomas.
