PARIS, France - Women with the common conditions of endometriosis or growths in their uterus have a slightly higher risk of dying before the age of 70, a large US-based study said on Thursday.One in 10 women worldwide suffer from endometriosis, a chronic disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb.Up to a quarter of women are thought to have non-cancerous growths in their uterus called uterine fibroids.
From the data, the researchers found that patients with one or both conditions had a slightly higher risk of dying before 70.This was because the patients were more likely to get the other health problems suggested by previous research, the study indicated.For uterine fibroids, the increase in early death was linked to a higher risk of gynecological cancers, the study said.
