This master’s thesis presents a clinical case of a young woman presenting with deep dyspareunia, secondary dysmenorrhea, cyclical rectal bleeding, and infertility. Transvaginal ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging identified an endometrioma, leading to symptom management via estroprogestative therapy and referral for infertility evaluation. The authors highlight that the variable clinical presentation of this condition often causes diagnostic delays in young patients, which can lead to disease progression and negatively impact quality of life. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the diagnosis and clinical management of the disease in young adults to preserve fertility.

| Title: | Endometriose na idade jovem: A propósito de um caso clínico | Other Titles: | Endometriosis in young age: Clinical case | Authors: | Lopes, Inês Cabral | Orientador: | Carvalho, Maria João da Silva Fernandes Leal | Keywords: | Endometriose; Endometrioma; Infertilidade; Adulto Jovem; Endometriosis; Endometriomas; Infertility; Young Adults | Issue Date: | 22-May-2019 | Title of the journal, periodical, book or event: | Endometriose na idade jovem: A propósito de um caso clínico | Place of publication or event: | Coimbra | Abstract: | A endometriose é uma doença ginecológica benigna, hormonodependente, que afeta cerca de 10% das mulheres em idade reprodutiva. Estima-se que 60% das mulheres relatam o início dos sintomas ginecológicos mesmo antes dos 20 anos de idade, justificando assim a importância da orientação de algia pélvica na idade jovem.Este trabalho tem como objetivo reportar o caso clínico de uma mulher em idade jovem com achado ecográfico sugestivo de endometrioma associado a quadro de dispareunia profunda, dismenorreia secundária, retorragias catameniais e infertilidade. Realizaram-se exames imagiológicos, nomeadamente ecografia transvaginal e ressonância magnética pélvica, que se revelaram sugestivos de endometriose. A sintomatologia foi controlada com estroprogestativo. A doente foi referenciada para estudo de infertilidade.A variabilidade na apresentação clínica da endometriose traduz-se muitas vezes no atraso do seu diagnóstico, principalmente na idade jovem, favorecendo a progressão da doença com consequências na qualidade de vida. Este manuscrito sublinha a necessidade do reconhecimento e orientação precoces desta condição ginecológica na idade jovem para o controlo de algias pélvicas crónicas e preservação da fertilidade futura . Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent gynecologic benign disease, affecting about 10% of women in reproductive age. About 60% of women, present the first gynecological symptoms, before the age of 20, reinforcing the idea of the importance of a good clinical management of the pelvic pain in young female.The main purpose of this work is to report a case of a young woman with a suspected endometrioma identified by echography, associated with deep dyspareunia, secondarydysmenorrhea, cyclical rectal bleeding and infertility.The image exams, transvaginal ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance, were suggestive of endometriosis. The symptomatology was controlled with estroprogestative. She was referred to study of infertility.Many times, the different clinical presentations of endometriosis results in a delayed diagnosis, mainly on young women, inducing the progression of the disease with implications on the quality of life. This manuscript reinforces the necessity of an early recognition and guidance of this gynecological disease, at young age, for managing chronical pelvic pain and preserving future fertility . |
