Abstract:

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disease, with the main clinical manifestations of dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and infertility. The pathogenesis of EMs is unknown, but the endometrioid-related factors and disease development can occur throughout a woman′s life. EMs has a serious negative impact on women′s lives and health. Dysmenorrhea is the most common menstrual symptom in adolescent women, and EMs is the most common cause of secondary dysmenorrhea in adolescents. There is a close correlation between dysmenorrhea in adolescents and the subsequent diagnosis of EMs. At present, the campus, family and medical institutions pay far less attention to dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Monitoring and managing the occurrence of EMs from dysmenorrhea in teenagers, health education and psychological treatment, improving the understanding of the disease, establishing an effective disease risk prediction model, and timely prevention and treatment will help to avoid the progression of the disease and effectively reduce the adverse impact on the whole life cycle of women.
