Interrelationships among endometriosis-related pain symptoms and their effects on health-related quality of life: a sectional observational study.

Objective: To assess the correlation between different pain symptoms and different domains of women's health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Methods: Seventy-seven women with deep infiltrating endometriosis were successively enrolled between June 2011 and August 2013 while being prepared to undergo laparoscopy due to pain and/or infertility. We quantified the intensities of dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and dyschezia (menstrual and non-menstrual) using a 11-point visual analog scale (VAS: 0-10) and the validated full versions of the Short Form 36 (SF36) and Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP30) questionnaires to assess HRQoL.
