Bone mineral density in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis who have undergone early bilateral oophorectomy

Conclusion: Higher lumbar spine and femoral neck BMDs are associated with an increase in the likelihood of pelvic DIE in women who underwent early BO. This might be expected to the extent that endometriosis is itself associated with enhanced estrogen status, although further studies are needed to confirm such a hypothesis. These findings suggest that BMD measurement could contribute to the hormonal management of surgical menopause in women with DIE.
