Endometriosis-Related Chronic Pelvic Pain

Soo Youn Song, Ye Won Jung, WonKyo Shin, Mia Park, Geon Woo Lee, Soohwa Jeong, Sukjeong An, Kyoungmin Kim, Young Bok Ko, Ki Hwan Lee, Byung Hun Kang, Mina Lee, Heon Jong Yoo

Summary: Endometriosis, a common gynecologic disease, often leads to various pain symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain. Inflammatory responses, nervous system sensitization, and altered distribution of nerve fibers may contribute to chronic pain in these patients. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial in guiding treatment decisions for endometriosis-related pain symptoms.

Peritoneal natural killer cell chemotaxis is decreased in women with pelvic endometriosis

Takashi Ushiwaka, Shinpei Yamamoto, Chika Yoshii, Shoko Hashimoto, Tamami Tsuzuki, Kayo Taniguchi, Chiaki Izumiya, Hiroaki Kobayashi, Nagamasa Maeda

Summary: This study found that in women with endometriosis, both cytotoxicity and chemotaxis of NK cells in the peritoneal cavity are significantly decreased, especially throughout the menstrual cycle. This may result in unprocessed antigens from retrograde menstrual blood in the peritoneal cavity and contribute to the development of endometriosis.

IL-8 and IL-12p70 are associated with pelvic pain among infertile women with endometriosis

Nanda Yuli Rahmawati, Fadhil Ahsan, Budi Santoso, Alfin Firasy Mufid, Ashon Sa'adi, Sri Ratna Dwiningsih, Arif Tunjungseto, Muhammad Yohanes Ardianta Widyanugraha

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-12p70 in serum and peritoneal fluid in women with infertility and pelvic pain. The levels were determined using ELISA. The results showed that IL-6 and IL-12p70 levels were increased in women with endometriosis, and IL-8 and IL-12p70 levels correlated with pain scores in infertile women. There was also a positive correlation between IL-1β and IL-6 levels in peritoneal fluid and pain scores. The study suggests that IL-8 and IL-12p70 levels are associated with pain in endometriosis, and further research is needed to understand the mechanism.

Pelvic floor, abdominal and uterine tenderness in relation to pressure pain sensitivity among women with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain

Amy L. Shafrir, Elena Martel, Stacey A. Missmer, Daniel J. Clauw, Steven E. Harte, Sawsan As-Sanie, Christine B. Sieberg

Summary: This study investigated the association between pelvic floor, abdominal, and uterine tenderness with central nervous system pain amplification among women with endometriosis or CPP. The results suggest that high pelvic floor tenderness may be a marker of heightened pain sensitivity and central nervous system pain amplification, impacting treatment response. Further research is needed to explore the predictive value of this clinical phenotype on response to medical and behavioral treatments for endometriosis and CPP.
