Study Question: What is the distribution of endometriosis phenotypes according to age in adult women undergoing surgery?
Summary Answer: The phenotype of endometriosis did not significantly vary after 24 years old.
What Is Known Already: The phenotypic evolution of endometriosis over time remains unclear. While adolescents can exhibit any type of endometriosis lesions, ovarian endometriosis (OMA) and/or deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) tend to increase with age in young adults.
Study Question: Do adolescents and young adult women (YAW) with histologically proven endometriosis present a specific clinical history?
Summary Answer: Questionnaire screening of adolescents and YAW can identify clinical markers associated with histologically proven endometriosis.
What Is Known Already: Some validated questionaries can contribute to an earlier endometriosis diagnosis in adults. None of these scores, however, have been validated for adolescents or YAW.
Objective: To provide French guidelines for the management of women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).
Design: A consensus committee of 26 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the beginning of the process and enforced throughout.
Study Question: Is endometriosis associated with childhood and/or adolescent sexual abuse?
Summary Answer: Endometriosis is not associated with a history of sexual abuse, unlike the presence of severe pelvic pain.
What Is Known Already: Several studies have highlighted a link between pelvic pain and sexual abuse during childhood/adolescence. Moreover, an inflammatory state has been described in patients with a history of childhood maltreatment.
