A cross-sectional survey reported in the Sept. 27 issue of Human Reproduction showed that women with endometriosis have higher rates of autoimmune and other chronic diseases than do women in the general U.S. population.
“Women with endometriosis frequently suffer from autoimmune inflammatory diseases, hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia (FM), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), allergies and asthma,” lead author Ninet Sinaii, from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland, says in a news release. “These findings also suggest a strong association between endometriosis and autoimmune disorders and indicate the need to consider the co-existence of other conditions in women with endometriosis.”
