O Bombeiro Militar como um Atleta Praticante de Fisiculturismo: Uma Revisão da Literatura

Introduction: Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, potentially affecting organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic tissues. Treatment may include medication, hormonal therapies, or, in more severe cases, surgery. Objective: To investigate the experiences and challenges faced by women with endometriosis who wish to become pregnant, focusing on the biological, emotional, and social barriers that impact fertility. Methods: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive study involving 69 women, using a questionnaire applied through a structured interview. The research setting included groups and communities of women on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp. The study focused on a microregion located in the south of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Results: The study showed that all participants were able to define endometriosis, which may be related to their high level of education. All reported difficulties in becoming pregnant, with most seeking treatment, primarily FIV. Finales Considerations : Thus, the study demonstrates that women with endometriosis actively seek knowledge about the condition, as it is clearly one of the main causes of infertility—an issue confirmed by the research—emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and access to information.
