Endometriosis in Young Women: the experience of GISE.
Study Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestations
of endometriosis in adolescents.
Design: prospective clinical study.
Setting: University and General hospitals.
Participants: A total of 38 females aged #21 years who
had a first surgically confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis
during the period including years 2005e2006 at 12 participating
centers were identified. Endometriotic lesions were
staged according to the 1985 revised American Fertility Society
[renamed American Society for Reproductive Medicine
(ASRM)] classification.
Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 18.6 years, except
in 3 cases (7.9%) in which it was made at #15 years of age.
None of the patients had a prior diagnosis of genital malformations,
nor were any cases of diagnosed familiarity for endometriosis.
Pelvic pain was present in all cases, although in 3 cases
the presence of a pelvic mass was the indication for surgery.
Conclusions: The main clinical finding emerging from
this analysis suggests that pelvic pain is the main symptom.
In our series pain was present in all cases and an ovarian
endometrioma was present in three cases. With regard to
the stage and site of the disease, the frequency of
minimal-mild endometriosis was lower than in adult cases
observed in the experience of GISE
