The School of Psychological Sciences at The Univer

The School of Psychological Sciences at The University of Melbourne is conducting research to increase clinical understanding of psychological symptoms in people with endometriosis and provide targets for psychological intervention aimed at reducing those symptoms.

This research titled ‘Investigation of Transdiagnostic Factors Underlying Depression, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders: A Focus on Community, Medically-Ill and Clinical populations’ aims to identify important psychological factors that cause and maintain depression, anxiety and eating disorder symptoms in endometriosis. Depression, anxiety and eating symptoms are common in endometriosis and have negative impacts on wellbeing and disease management.

This study is longitudinal, involving the completion of two online surveys that ask questions about physical and psychological health. Survey-one will take approximately 40-60 minutes to complete. At 6-months later, participants will be invited by email to complete survey-two, taking approximately 30mins. Participants would receive a $20 gift voucher upon completion of the second survey. Any individual aged 18+yrs with a diagnosis of endometriosis is eligible to participate.

Participants can access survey-one by clicking the link in our bio.

Research findings will be published in scientific journals and help to inform the development of targeted psychological interventions.

This research is led by senior clinical researchers in this area Dr. Litza Kiropoulos and Dr. Isabel Krug and PhD candidates Rebekah Davenport and An Dang at the University of Melbourne. You can find more information about the Transdiagnostic Research Program on their website by clicking the link in our bio.

As 2021 comes to a close, and we begin the holiday

As 2021 comes to a close, and we begin the holiday season, we find ourselves looking back and remembering what we are grateful for.

EndoMarch is incredibly thankful for our supporters including patients, families, and physicians.

EndoMarch started 8 years ago as a grassroots movement with the mission of raising awareness about endometriosis and finding noninvasive diagnostic testing, and ultimately, prevention and treatment. Since its inception in 2013, it has grown to be the largest, internationally-coordinated endometriosis awareness platform in the world, with tens of thousands attending our events in the U.S. alone, and over 100 different organizations from 60+ countries now involved, totaling over 400,000 followers worldwide.

All of this has been made possible because of YOU! We are so thankful for you and the hundreds of thousands of womxn, families, physicians, and scientists who've built our movement.

This Giving Tuesday, please remember to support EndoMarch, so we can continue this life changing work. Our hope is to limit the future suffering of patients and their families around the world.

You can support EndoMarch in any of the following ways:

1. Make a tax-deductible contribution directly to EndoMarch

2. Designate EndoMarch as your charity when you shop with Amazon Smile

3. Start your own peer-to-peer fundraiser on Facebook or via our website

Can endometriosis become cancer? REPOST FROM @sha

Can endometriosis become cancer?

REPOST FROM @shantimohlingmd

Malignant transformation of Endometriosis:
A number of you have commented about discovering you have cancer with a history of endometriosis. Malignant transformation of endometriosis is uncommon and estimated to occur with a frequency between 0.7%-1%. Patients with a history of endometriosis who have been on unopposed estrogen may be at increased risk, even if they have had hysterectomy or removal of ovaries. Unopposed estrogen in patients with a history of endometriosis has been associated with malignant transformation, and concomitant treatment with a progestin should be considered when hormone replacement is warranted following hysterectomy.
.
These are excerpts from a paper I wrote on Malignant Transformation of Endometriosis in 2016 for Journal of Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Disorders.
