Hysterectomy with or without bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is considered for women with pelvic pain from endometriosis unresponsive to conventional therapy, with age and parity being key considerations.
One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
Abstract
When there is a medical or surgical indication for a hysterectomy apart from endometriosis the following discussion is not really relevant. The question deals with the role of hysterectomy purely for the management of endometriosis. Women, who have pelvic pain due to endometriosis that isunresponsive to conventional therapy that can include surgery or medication, are often advised to have a hysterectomy with or without a BSO. Age, gravidity and parity must be carefully considered when deciding on a hysterectomy and especially more so when a decision has to be taken surrounding a BSO.
