ASPECTOS CLÍNICOS E EPIDEMIOLÓGICOS DA ENDOMETRIOSE
This integrative literature review examines the clinical and epidemiological aspects of endometriosis, characterizing it as a chronic, benign, estrogen-dependent disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The authors define the condition by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, predominantly within the female pelvis, and discuss diagnosis through physical examination combined with auxiliary diagnostic tools. The paper emphasizes that endometriosis requires lifelong management during the reproductive years due to its multifactorial nature and significant impact on patients' quality of life. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on its clinical presentation, epidemiology, and the necessity for long-term patient care.
