Prevalence of endometriosis in women undergoing laparoscopic surgery for various gynecological indications: a Jordanian multi-center retrospective study
This is the most extensive Jordanian study assessing the prevalence of endometriosis in women undergoing gynecological laparoscopy. Our results suggest that the prevalence of endometriosis among Jordanian women remains high, albeit lower than previously reported. The study uncovered that age, BMI, parity number, and cesarean sections are predictors of endometriosis. Future research may explore causative reasons for the higher prevalence of endometriosis and the influence of other comorbidities, medications, and lifestyle factors.
