Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. Although the disorder is currently estimated to affect approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, there is evidence to suggest that many women remain undiagnosed. Women with endometriosis may experience pain, abnormal menstruation, gastrointestinal symptoms, chronic fatigue, and infertility. Because of the varying symptomatology, the disorder may also foster negative psychosocial outcomes and decrease overall quality of life. Because there is no known cure, an effective patient-clinician relationship is crucial to successful long-term management of the condition. Several interventions exist, including nonsurgical and surgical management. Here, we provide an overview of endometriosis and current treatment options, as well as evidence-based practice implications for nurses who work with women who have endometriosis.
子宫内膜异位症是一种慢性炎症性疾病，其中子宫内膜组织生长在子宫外。尽管目前估计该疾病影响了大约 10%的育龄妇女，但有证据表明，许多妇女仍未被诊断出来。患有子宫内膜异位症的女性可能会经历疼痛、月经异常、胃肠道症状、慢性疲劳和不孕。由于症状多种多样，该疾病也可能导致负面的心理社会后果，并降低整体生活质量。由于目前尚无已知的治愈方法，因此建立有效的医患关系对于成功长期管理该疾病至关重要。有几种干预措施，包括非手术和手术管理。在这里，我们提供了子宫内膜异位症和当前治疗选择的概述，以及为与患有子宫内膜异位症的女性一起工作的护士提供循证实践的影响。
