Abstract

This study suggests a link between diet and risk of endometriosis.

Diet and Risk of Endometriosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Study

“…The results of this meta-analysis showed no effect of milk, calcium, and vitamin D on the risk of developing endometriosis; odds ratio of all 3 were estimated at about 1, while Parazzini and Hiller showed an increase in disease with increasing milk consumption (9,12,13).…”

“…All 3 studies included in the meta-analysis showed the effect of fish consumption on reducing the disease, however, none were statistically significant (9,11,12).…”

Diet – A New Approach To Treating Endometriosis – What Is The Evidence?

“…The consumption of carrot and whole grain foods were not significantly related to endometriosis Parazzini et al,(2003) 28 . The inadequate fiber intake by the women with endometriosis favors inflammation and consequently oxidative stress.…”

“…In the Italian case-control study, no association emerged between oil intake and risk of endometriosis whereas an increase in risk for endometriosis was associated with high intake of beef and red meat and ham Parazzini et al,(2003) 28 . Jean Francois Heilier et al, (2006) 25 , reported the consumption of marine fish and pig meat as significant determinants of peritoneal endometriosis and deep endometriotic nodules.…”

“…Parazzini et al, 28 , analysed data collected in the framework of two case-control studies to offer data on the relationship between diet and risk of pelvic endometriosis. Cases were 504 women aged <65 years (median age 33 years, range 20-65) with a laparoscopically confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis.…”
