Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. Although the disorder is currently estimated to affect approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, there is evidence to suggest that many women remain undiagnosed. Women with endometriosis may experience pain, abnormal menstruation, gastrointestinal symptoms, chronic fatigue, and infertility. Because of the varying symptomatology, the disorder may also foster negative psychosocial outcomes and decrease overall quality of life. Because there is no known cure, an effective patient-clinician relationship is crucial to successful long-term management of the condition. Several interventions exist, including nonsurgical and surgical management. Here, we provide an overview of endometriosis and current treatment options, as well as evidence-based practice implications for nurses who work with women who have endometriosis.
