PREVALENSI DAN DISTRIBUSI FAKTOR RISIKO ENDOMETRIOSIS DI RS DR. MOHAMMAD HOESIN PERIODE JULI 2022–2024
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, often leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. This condition negatively affects the quality of life and reproductive health of women of reproductive age. The paucity of data on the prevalence and associated risk factors across populations highlight the need for comprehensive local epidemiological data to support early detection and appropriate management strategies. Method: This study was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design using secondary medical record data of endometriosis patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, from July 2022 to December 2024. Samples were selected using the total sampling method, including all female patients diagnosed with histopathologically confirmed endometriosis who met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed univariately to describe the prevalence and distribution of risk factors, including age, age at menarche, menstrual pattern, parity, marital status, disease stage, and body mass index (BMI). Results: A total of 507 endometriosis patients were included as the study population. The highest number of cases occurred in 2024 with 290 patients (57.2%). Most patients were within the reproductive age group (15–49 years) accounting for 98.4%, with menarche between 8–15 years (98.8%) and regular menstrual cycles of 21–35 days (98.0%). Based on disease severity, stage IV (severe) predominated with 61.1%, followed by stage III (29.8%). The majority of patients were nulliparous (49.5%), married (94.1%), and had a normal BMI (38.5%). These findings indicate that women of reproductive age, nulliparous status, and normal to overweight BMI represent the predominant profile among endometriosis patients in this population. Conclusions: Endometriosis in this study population was most commonly observed among women of reproductive age, predominantly nulliparous and married, with normal age at menarche, menstrual cycles, and body mass index (BMI). Hormonal, inflammatory, and immunological factors are likely to play a dominant role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The high proportion of advanced-stage cases highlights the ongoing lack of early detection and awareness of endometriosis symptoms, underscoring the need to strengthen reproductive health education and implement active screening programs in primary healthcare settings. Keywords: Endometriosis, Risk Factors, Prevalence, Reproductive Age.
