Psychosomatic comorbidity in endometriosis: A multi-center, cross-sectional study identifying an underestimated factor in current medical support
Objective
Endometriosis affects approximately 10 % of women and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, fatigue, infertility, and impaired quality of life. This study explores the association between psychosomatic diseases/ symptoms and endometriosis.
Methods
A multi-center study involving 422 women with endometriosis and 422 age-matched control women was conducted in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire covering socio-demographic information, health history including psychosomatic diseases, and endometriosis symptoms. Information on endometriosis was extracted from the patients' medical charts. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT 02511626.
Results
Psychosomatic diseases/ symptoms but not physiological diseases were associated with a diagnosis of endometriosis. Women with endometriosis reported significantly higher frequencies of pain disorders (migraine/headache (very) often 25.12 %/12.33 %, back pain 32.46 %/16.83 %, chest pain 14.93 %/4.26 %, stomach pain 19.67 %/7.11 %, all p-values <0.001), disturbed mental health (irritability 22.98 %/10.50 %, mood swings 34.59 %/9.48 %, depressive mood 17.33 %/2.81 %, feelings of anxiety 8.29 %/1.42 %, all p-values <0.001), sleeping disorders (33.18 %/11.84 %, p < 0.001), neck tension (50.94 %/34.60 %, p < 0.001), teeth grinding (18.72 %/9.24 % p < 0.04), appetite loss (6.16 %/2.37 %, p < 0.02), digestive problems (31.99 %/11.13 %, p < 0.001), diarrhea (15.17 %/4.50 %, p < 0.001), asthma (3.55 %/0.71 %, p < 0.001), and breathing difficulties (6.16 %/1.19 %, p < 0.10) than did control women. The frequency (≥several times/day 30.47 %/10.58 %, p = 0.013) of endometriosis-related pain was greater in women with psychosomatic comorbidity.
Conclusions
The study supports a strong association between psychosomatic comorbidity and endometriosis. Pathophysiological mechanisms of this association should be further evaluated to better understand endometriosis development. Endometriosis should be treated with a holistic, multidisciplinary approach, combining physical and psychological aspects to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic human biological and psychological research to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews, and other papers related to the journal''s aims.
