Overview
Endometriosis affects approximately around 11,000 per 100,000 females in the reproductive age group. Endometriosis is more common in the Caucasian population than the African American population. Endometriosis accounts for the majority of cases with chronic pelvic pain and infertility.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Epidemiological data for endometriosis is scarce due to the following reasons:[1]
- Endometriosis includes a wide spectrum of symptoms and pathologic findings.
- Endometriosis in the early stages is asymptomatic and is a diagnosis usually made for the first time as a part of infertility work up.
Prevalence
- Worldwide, the prevalence of endometriosis is approximately around 11,000 per 100,000 individuals.[2]
- Endometriosis accounts for 33,000 per 100,000 cases with chronic pelvic pain and 17,000 per 100,000 cases with infertility.[3]
Race
- Endometriosis is more common in the Caucasian population than the African American population.[1]
Age
- Endometriosis is a condition affecting women in the reproductive age group usually between 15 to 45 years of age.
Gender
- Endometriosis is a condition that effects females. However, few cases of male urinary tract endometriosis have also been described.
