Endometriosis affects at least 1 in 10 women globally, with significant underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) can be defined as either cyclic or non-cyclic pain lasting >6 months, localized to the pelvis, abdomen, or lower back, and has multiple causes. Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, is one cause of CPP. Direct Care: · Pathophysiology- Ectopic endometrial tissue causes inflammation, fibrosis, and neuropathic pain. · Hormone fluctuations lead to cyclical exacerbation of symptoms. · Symptomatology- Severe dysmenorrhea, premenstrual pain, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria. · Infertility; 30% of women with endometriosis have fertility issues and 50% of women attending fertility clinics have endometriosis. · Pain is often disproportionate to the extent of the disease · Diagnostic challenges- Average delay to diagnosis: 7–9 years. · Previous reliance on laparoscopy for definitive diagnosis, current guidelines advocate a presumptive or working diagnosis based on patient symptoms · Limitations of imaging and biomarkers; endometriosis can be under-or overcalled by different imaging modalities. Advanced transvaginal ultrasound is more commonly utilised currently · Treatment modalities- Medical: NSAIDs, hormonal therapies (COCP, progestins, GnRH analoguess). Surgical: ablation, excision of endometriosis / endometriomas, oophorectomy, hysterectomy where there is adenomyosis and in cases refractory to more conservative treatments · Multidisciplinary: Pain management, physiotherapy, fertility support. Indirect Care: · Psychological Burden- High rates of depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Impact on body image, sexual health, and self-esteem. · Social & Occupational Functioning- Absenteeism, reduced productivity, and career disruption. Strained relationships and social isolation. · Economic Costs-Direct costs: diagnostics, medications, surgeries. Indirect costs: lost income, disability claims, long-term care. · Healthcare System Strain- Repeated GP visits, referrals, and emergency presentations. · Need for specialist-led care pathways and early intervention protocols. The application of speciality-focused knowledge and skills of the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) (hereafter referred to the CNS) will provide for the care and on-going management of patients with conditions relating to chronic pelvic pain in endometriosis patients. The post holder will be required to work as a key member of the endometriosis team in the hospital providing physical, psychological and emotional support to the woman and their families/carers throughout their disease trajectory.
