This scoping review mapped the global spectrum of endometriosis-related symptoms and examined factors influencing symptom reporting. Following the JBI framework, studies were identified using two databases to identify studies published between 2004 to 2024. Of the 1286 articles initially screened, 95 articles were included. Studies reported on a range of symptoms (49 symptoms) involving multiple organ systems, with the most commonly reported symptoms being dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and dyspareunia. Symptom assessment varied widely, with predominant use of numerical rating and visual analogue scales and limited uptake of endometriosis-specific tools. Symptom cyclicity was inconsistently reported, and minority populations were under-represented. Overall, the findings highlight substantial heterogeneity in symptom classification and measurement, contributing to an incomplete understanding of disease burden. These findings set a basis for the creation of standardized, culturally sensitive, and multidimensional symptom assessment frameworks necessary to improve diagnostic accuracy, equity, and global comparability in endometriosis research and care.

The study found that advanced age (β = .10), gestational weight gain (β = .17), health problems during pregnancy (β = .12), and low income (β = .16) increased body image dissatisfaction, whereas not paying attention to appearance before pregnancy (β = -.12), spousal support (β = -.09), and planned pregnancy (β = -.07) reduced it. Additionally, low income indirectly increased dissatisfaction by hindering planned pregnancy (β = -.11), while advanced age (β = .15), lack of pre-pregnancy concern for appearance (β = .09), and spousal support (β = .13) indirectly decreased dissatisfaction through promoting planned pregnancy. Based on the study results, it is recommended that midwives and nurses closely monitor and support women at risk of body image dissatisfaction, including those who are older, have low socioeconomic status, lack partner support, experience unplanned pregnancies or health problems, and pay attention to their appearance before pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"834-845"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146086984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample comprised 43 students who met the inclusion criteria and provided parental consent. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form and a Knowledge Test. Institutional permission and ethics committee approval were obtained before the study. Students received animation-supported menstruation training sessions lasting approximately 30 minutes, conducted once a week for four weeks. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired two-sample t-tests, the McNemar test, linear regression, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The analysis results indicated a statistically significant difference between the students' mean pretest and posttest knowledge scores (p < .001). Specifically, the mean knowledge score increased from 11.88 at pretest to 18.28 at posttest. The findings suggest that animation-supported menstrual education significantly increased students' knowledge levels.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"846-860"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146221336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hormonal shifts prior to this event result in a frequently symptomatic period known as perimenopause, which has been linked to unfavorable changes in body composition. This study explored women's experiences of perimenopause, including perception of body shape and weight. Perimenopausal women living in Ireland were recruited via convenience sampling to participate in semi-structured virtual interviews with a focus on experiences of weight and body shape. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and subjected to thematic analysis. Seventeen participants with an average age of 50.6 ± 2.8 years participated. Six main themes were produced, describing the far-reaching impact of menopause and its symptoms. The women expressed a differing experience of weight and body shape during perimenopause, compared to previous experiences. They were attempting to make sense of body shape and weight variations, with body image often negatively affected. Women aspired to make lifestyle changes, driven by a desire to manage weight, reduce symptoms, or improve present/future health. Challenges specific to this life stage, including symptoms or additional life factors, act as barriers to engaging with healthy lifestyle strategies. Women are seeking guidance to navigate perimenopause and any weight and body shape changes indicating that targeted lifestyle interventions are required, with a role for supportive weight management strategies.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"861-870"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146221350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the pandemic, 65,685 women with breast cancer died, of which 57,734 (87.89 percent) due to the disease. There was a 12.5 percent increase in the number of women dying with a breast cancer diagnosis during the pandemic, the proportion of breast cancer-specific deaths decreased, indicating that the additional mortality burden arose mainly from other causes.

The analysis identified three main themes: emotional burden and coping with HPV, social loneliness and ısolation, and stigmatization and HPV.
