The Impact of Endometriosis across the Lifespan of Women: Foreseeable Research and Therapeutic Prospects
Introduction
Although a number of causal or exacerbatory pathological mechanisms seem to underlie initiation and persistence or
progression of endometriosis [1–12] there is no debate that this disease features a chronic inflammatory state within
the peritoneal cavity [9, 10]. The extent to which this disease process impacts the health of women surely relates to
inflammation within this anatomical/physiological compartment. As a corollary, it is plausible that systemic chronic

Polyphenols as a Diet Therapy Concept for Endometriosis—Current Opinion and Future Perspectives
Abstract: Endometriosis represents an often painful, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder, defined by the existence of endometrial glands and stroma exterior to the uterine cavity. The disease provides a wide range of symptoms and affects women’s quality of life and reproductive functions. Despite research efforts and extensive investigations, this disease’s pathogenesis and molecular basis remain unclear. Conventional endometriosis treatment implies surgical resection, hormonal ...

Self-management and psychological-sexological interventions in patients with endometriosis: strategies, outcomes, and integration into clinical care
Abstract: Endometriosis has a multifactorial etiology. The onset and progression of the disease are believed to be related to different pathogenic mechanisms. Among them, the environment and lifestyle may play significant roles. Diet, dietary supplements, physical exercise, osteopathy, massage, acupuncture, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and Chinese herbal medicine may represent a complementary and feasible approach in the ...

Mediterranean diet and risk of endometrial cancer: a pooled analysis of three italian case-control studies
Background: Some components of the Mediterranean diet have favourable effects on endometrial cancer, and the
Mediterranean diet as a whole has been shown to have a beneficial role on various neoplasms.
Methods: We analysed this issue pooling data from three case-control studies carried out between 1983 and 2006 in various Italian areas and in the Swiss Canton of Vaud. Cases were 1411 women with incident, histologically confirmed endometrial cancer, and controls were 3668 patients in ...

A prospective study of dietary fat consumption and endometriosis risk
Background: Endometriosis is a prevalent but enigmatic gynecologic disorder for which few modifiable risk factors have been identified. Fish oil consumption has been associated with symptom improvement in studies of women with primary dysmenorrhea and with decreased endometriosis risk in autotransplantation animal studies.
Methods: To investigate the relation between dietary fat intake and the risk of endometriosis, we analyzed 12 years of prospective data from the Nurses’ Health Study II that began in 1989. Dietary ...

Endometriosis: Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Clinical Management
Abstract
Purpose of review—Endometriosis is a disease of adolescents and reproductive-aged women characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and commonly associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Here we review the epidemiology of endometriosis as well as potential biomarkers for detection and with the goal of highlighting risk factors that could be used in combination with biomarkers to identify and treat women with endometriosis earlier..
Recent findings—Early age at ...

Dairy-Food, Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D Intake and Endometriosis: A Prospective Cohort Study
The etiology of endometriosis is poorly understood, and few modifiable risk factors have been identified. Dairy foods and some nutrients can modulate inflammatory and immune factors, which are altered in women with endometriosis.
We investigated whether intake of dairy foods, nutrients concentrated in dairy foods, and predicted plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were associated with incident laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis among 70,556 US women in Nurses’ Health Study II. ...

Fruit and vegetable consumption and risk of endometriosis
STUDY QUESTION: Is there an association between intake of fruits and vegetables and risk of laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis?
SUMMARY ANSWER: Higher intake of fruits, particularly citrus fruits, is associated with a lower risk of endometriosis.
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Two case–control studies have examined the associations between fruit and vegetable intake and endometriosis risk with contrasting results. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables include higher levels of pro-vitamin A nutrients (alpha-carotene, betacarotene, ...
