Article Synopsis
- Endometriosis is a long-term illness affecting many women, causing pain, difficulty getting pregnant, and a lower quality of life, but it can take years to get diagnosed.
- The study aims to use a mobile app to gather and analyze information from women with and without endometriosis, focusing on their symptoms, lifestyle, and diet over a year.
- The goal is to understand better how endometriosis affects women, which could lead to quicker diagnoses and finding out if certain foods make the pain and quality of life worse.
Background: The conventional laparoscopic approach for the surgical management of deep endometriosis (DE) infiltrating the rectum appears to ensure improved digestive functional outcomes. The natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) technique for the treatment of colorectal DE can significantly accelerate postoperative recovery; however, data on gastrointestinal function following conventional laparoscopic segmental bowel resection (CLR) compared with NOSE colectomy (NC) for DE are sparse.
Materials And Methods: Between 30 September 2019 and 31 December 2020, a randomized, open-label, two-arm, parallel-group controlled trial with women aged 18-45 years was conducted at University Hospital.
Background: Endometriosis as a chronic gynecological disease has several negative effects on women's life, thereby placing a huge burden on the patients and the health system. The negative impact of living with endometriosis (impaired quality of life, diverse medical experiences) is detailed in the literature, however, we know less about patients' self-management, social support, the meaning of life with a chronic disease, and the needs of patients. To implement a proper multidisciplinary approach in practice, we need to have a comprehensive view of the complexity of endometriosis patients' life and disease history.

Summary Answer: Physical pain symptoms and emotion regulation difficulties via psychological stress negatively affect the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of women living with endometriosis.
What Is Known Already: There are some missing links in the definitive treatment and recovery from endometriosis. Women with chronic pain report a decrease in HRQoL and an increase in the frequency of psychological problems, but little is known about the complex relationship between these variables in the context of endometriosis.
