    PMID: 15559180
    We describe two patients with recurrent hemopneumothorax associated with pelvic endometriosis. The first patient a 37-year-old nulliparous lady with recurrent bilateral hemopneumothorax. She had a past history endometriosis years earlier. Laparoscopy and biopsy confirmed widespread endometriosis including in the omentum. Recurrence of the hemopneumothorax stopped after danazol therapy suggesting thoracic endometriosis as the cause of hemopneumothorax. The second lady is 47-years old with 2 children. She first presented with hemopneumothorax associated with menstrual period but ultrasound of pelvis did not reveal evidence of endometriosis. However, when she presented with a second episode of hemopneumothorax one year later, she was confirmed to have endometriosis and no further recurrence after treatment with Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue.

    PMID: 11732085
    A 45 years old Chinese housewife presented with menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea due to adenomyosis failed to respond to various medical treatments. She was treated with balloon thermoablation. The total menstrual blood loss (MBL) decreased from 96.94 ml before to 37.57 ml, six months after thermoablation. The pictorial blood loss chart (PBLC) showed similar decrease in blood loss. Dysmenorrhoea was also cured. At three year follow up, there was no recurrence. This is the first report which shows thermoablation decreases MBL objectively and can be tried to treat adenomyosis.

    Int J Nurs Pract, 2020 Aug;26(4):e12833.
    PMID: 32189457 DOI: 10.1111/ijn.12833
    AIMS: To examine the pertinent issues discussed by endometriosis patients in Malaysia on MyEndosis Facebook group as an alternative platform for online support.

    METHODS: Using thematic analysis based on three frameworks, 120 posted messages and comments were examined from MyEndosis Facebook group-a support group for women with endometriosis from January to July 2014.

    RESULTS: Results showed the issues discussed were (a) personal struggles, (b) medication and treatment, (c) alternative medication, (d) side effects, and (e) medication recommended by doctors. While using this social medium, users found (a) emotional support, (b) esteem support, (c) information support, (d) network support, and (e) tangible assistance in their engagement with others.

    CONCLUSION: The analysis suggested that users' interactions were structured around information, emotion, and community building, which many doctors and nurses were not aware of. The group was shaped as a social network where peer users share social support, cultivate companionship, and exert social influence.
