"Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, estrogen- dependent disorder defined by the presence of lesions of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. The condition can affect multiple systems in the body, causing pain, infertility, and decreased health-related quality of life, sexual satisfaction, and work productivity. Endometriosis occurs primarily in women of reproductive age, although it has been reported in premenarchal and postmenopausal patients. The reported prevalence rate of endometriosis ranges from 0.7% to 8.6% among women in the general population, whereas endometriosis has been observed in 9.0–68.0% of women with subfertility and 15.4–71.4% of women with chronic pelvic pain. The true prevalence of endometriosis among adolescents in the general population is unknown; however, endometriosis has been identified in 64% of adolescents undergoing laparoscopy for pelvic pain.

The purpose of this Clinical Practice Guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations for the evaluation and diagnosis of endometriosis in symptomatic adult and adolescent patients."

Very encouraging evidence as we strive to prevent pregnancy losses. This may prove beneficial especially to those who have a history of recurrent miscarriages

Women who take progesterone in the year before becoming pregnant may reduce their risk for miscarriage by as much as 18%, according to a new study analyzing tens of thousands of pregnancies nationwide. http://ms.spr.ly/6189sfvqT

* For women aged 50 to 59 with moderate to severe VMS, use of menopausal HT was not associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic CVD

*The findings support guideline recommendations for treatment of VMS with HT in women aged 50 to 59 years, caution if initiating HT in women aged 60 to 69 years, and avoidance of HT in women 70 years and older." .
