Users' Concerns About Endometriosis on Social Media: Sentiment Analysis and Topic Modeling Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endometriosis is a debilitating and difficult-to-diagnose gynecological disease. Owing to limited information and awareness, women often rely on social media platforms as a support system to engage in discussions regarding their disease-related concerns.

Objective

This study aimed to apply computational techniques to social media posts to identify discussion topics about endometriosis and to identify themes that require more attention from health care professionals and researchers. We also aimed to explore whether, amid the challenging nature of the disease, there are themes within the endometriosis community that gather posts with positive sentiments.

Methods

We retrospectively extracted posts from the subreddits r/Endo and r/endometriosis from January 201
