Study Finds Two Common Gynecological Disorders Linked To Increased Risk Of Early Death

Individuals with endometriosis were 31% more likely to die prematurely (before age 70) compared to those without these disorders.

History of two common gynecological disorders, endometriosis and uterine fibroids, is linked to an increased risk of early death, a recent study revealed.

Endometriosis is a chronic reproductive disorder that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age. It occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing symptoms such as severe period pain, chronic pelvic pain, bloating, nausea, fatigue, and infertility. There is no permanent cure for the condition, so treatment involves managing symptoms.
