Correlations between endometriosis, lipid profile, and estrogen levels.

To explore the association between serum lipids and the occurrence and development of endometriosis using a retrospective review of clinical data. A total of 177 patients who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery due to benign ovarian masses, 117 patients with endometriosis (53 stage III and 64 stage IV), and 60 patients with benign ovarian masses without endometriosis were selected from the gynecology department of Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province, between January 1, 2020, and October 30, 2022, to search for endometriosis occurrence by retrospectively analyzed the patients clinical data Risk factors for development and to explore the relationship between blood lipids and endometriosis. The scores of estradiol (E2), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and pain in the endo - and non-endometriosis groups were significantly different (P < .05), but there was no significant correlation between these 3. There were significant differences (P < .05) in E2, triglyceride (TG), CA125, and the size of the masses between patients with stage III and IV endometriosis. TG, E2, and CA125 were found to be valuable as separate indicators for the prediction of endometriosis, and the 3 indicators could improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of endometriosis when combined. Triglycerides may be positively correlated with the severity of endometriosis. The combination of TG, E2 and CA125 can improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of endometriosis staging.
