Objective

To analyze epidemiological characteristics of endometriosis (EM) in rural areas of Yantai City, Shandong Province in 2007 and explore the prevalence of endometriosis and provide information for the prevention and therapy for endometriosis.

In terms of age, the prevalence of 25 to 45-year-old group was highest among all groups. To the occupation, the prevalence of mental workers was the highest. The prevalence of different age groups and different occupations were statistically significant difference(P<0.05).
