researchers discovered that endometriosis may be linked to mental health conditions and eating disorders in women
the study which used data from approximately 270,000 women found part of a gene that’s connected to both depression and endometriosis
this research indicates that care for endometriosis may be improved by taking a Whole Health approach rather than just treating physical symptoms
“our findings support that endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease with complex links to women’s mental health rather than a classic gynecological disease”- Dr Dora Koller Yale School of Medicine
