The care of patients with endometriosis has been complicated by the coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Medical and allied healthcare appointments and
surgeries are being temporarily postponed. Mandatory self-isolation has created
new obstacles for individuals with endometriosis seeking pain relief and
improvement in their quality of life. Anxieties may be heightened by concerns
over whether endometriosis may be an underlying condition that could predispose
to severe COVID-19 infection and what constitutes an appropriate indication for
presentation for urgent treatment in the epidemic. Furthermore, the restrictions
imposed due to COVID-19 can impose negative psychological effects, which patients
with endometriosis may be more prone to already. In combination with medical
therapies, or as an alternative, we encourage patients to consider
self-management strategies to combat endometriosis symptoms during the COVID-19
pandemic. These self-management strategies are divided into problem-focused and
emotion-focused strategies, with the former aiming to change the environment to
alleviate pain, and the latter address the psychology of living with
endometriosis. We put forward this guidance, which is based on evidence and
expert opinion, for healthcare providers to utilize during their consultations
with patients via telephone or video. Patients may also independently use this
article as an educational resource. The strategies discussed are not exclusively
restricted to consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most have been
researched before this period of time and all will continue to be a part of the
biopsychological approach to endometriosis long after COVID-19 restrictions are
lifted.
