Endometriosis is a chronic painful condition affecting 10% of reproductive-aged women with a high prevalence of overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. There is a significant diagnostic delay for endometriosis and current screening practices for endometriosis in gastroenterology clinic populations have not been evaluated. 112 gastroenterology providers (57.5% females, 64.3% physicians) completed an anonymized exploratory survey (40.1% response rate). Most respondents (59.4%) currently do not screen for endometriosis, but the majority (72.1%) reported they would be "extremely likely" or "somewhat likely" to screen for endometriosis after being presented with data on the high prevalence of chronic GI symptoms in patients with endometriosis.
子宫内膜异位症是一种慢性疼痛疾病,影响着10%的育龄妇女,且胃肠道症状重叠的患病率很高。子宫内膜异位症的诊断存在显著延迟,目前胃肠病学门诊人群中子宫内膜异位症的筛查方法尚未得到评估。112名胃肠病学从业者(57.5%为女性,64.3%为医生)完成了一项匿名探索性调查(回复率为40.1%)。大多数受访者(59.4%)目前不进行子宫内膜异位症筛查,但大多数人(72.1%)表示,在得知子宫内膜异位症患者慢性胃肠道症状的高患病率数据后,他们“极有可能”或“有些可能”会进行子宫内膜异位症筛查。
