This paper is a literature review examining how nutrition relates to endometriosis, with a focus on links between dietary nutrient/food profiles, body composition, and the development and severity of symptoms. The authors consulted 38 sources published between 2011 and 2021 across SciELO, PubMed, and Google Scholar, and summarized nutrients/foods that may reduce symptoms versus those that may worsen the condition, while also discussing body composition in women with endometriosis. A major caveat is that it is not an original clinical study but a narrative synthesis, so the conclusions depend on the heterogeneity and quality of included studies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews dietary patterns, nutrients, antioxidants, phytotherapy, and body composition in relation to endometriosis development and symptoms.

Abstract

A endometriose é uma doença que apresenta diversas sintomatologias em mulheres. A mudança de estilo de vida, incluindo melhora de hábitos alimentares com uma alimentação anti-inflamatória, contribui efetivamente para mitigar os sintomas. Sendo assim, o objetivo do trabalho é evidenciar a relação do perfil alimentar junto a composição corporal no desenvolvimento e prognóstico da patologia. O estudo se trata de uma revisão de literatura e para a pesquisa foram consultados 38 materiais, dentre eles artigos científicos, documentos oficiais, livros e trabalhos de conclusão de curso. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio das bases de dados Scielo, PubMed e Google Acadêmico, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, publicados entre os anos de 2011 a 2021. Após a revisão de literatura, foram elencados os principais nutrientes e alimentos que podem contribuir para a redução da sintomatologia ou que podem piorar o quadro clínico referido, além de avaliar a composição corporal de mulheres com endometriose. A alimentação exerce um papel fundamental tanto no desenvolvimento, quanto no manejo da endometriose, onde um perfil alimentar pró-inflamatório aumenta a chance de desenvolvimento assim como piora os sintomas, tendo o Nutricionista uma importante contribuição na melhora de estilo de vida proporcionando qualidade de vida às mulheres com endometriose.

Nutrition and your implications for endometriosis DOI: https://doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v11i5.28017Keywords: Endometriosis, Nutrition, Phytotherapy, Diet, Antioxidants, Body composition.Abstract Endometriosis is a disease that has several symptoms in women. Lifestyle changes, including improving eating habits with an anti-inflammatory diet, effectively contribute to mitigating symptoms. Therefore, the objective of this work is to highlight the relationship between the food profile and body composition in the development and prediction of the pathology. The study is a literature review and 38 materials were consulted for research, among them scientific articles, official, books and final paper. The research was carried out using the Scielo, PubMed and Google Scholar databases, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published between 2011 and 2021. After reviewing the literature, the main nutrients and foods that can contribute to the reduction of symptoms or that can worsen the referred clinical condition were listed, in addition to evaluating the body composition of women with endometriosis. Food plays a fundamental role in both the development and management of endometriosis, where a pro-inflammatory food profile increases the chance of development as well as worsening symptoms, with the Nutritionist having an important contribution to improving lifestyle by providing quality of life to women with endometriosis.
