Women with a history of endometriosis and uterine fibroids might have an increased long term risk of premature death, finds a large study from the United States published by The BMJ today.
BMJ GroupNov 21 2024 Women with a history of endometriosis and uterine fibroids might have an increased long term risk of premature death, finds a large study from the United States published by The BMJ today.
To explore this further, researchers drew on information provided by 110,091 women taking part in the Nurses' Health Study II who were aged 25-42 years in 1989 and had no history of hysterectomy before endometriosis or fibroids diagnosis, cardiovascular diseases, or cancer. During 30 years of monitoring, 4,356 premature deaths were recorded, including 1,459 from cancer, 304 from cardiovascular diseases, and 90 from respiratory diseases.
Uterine fibroids were unrelated to all-cause premature death, but were associated with a greater risk of death due to gynaecological cancers.
