Endometriosis affects the quality of life, sleep, and sexual life of patients due to pain. This study compared the scores of endometriosis patients in these three areas before and after surgery.
MethodsPatients between the ages of 18-60 with a prediagnosis of endometriosis were enrolled. Postoperative histopathological diagnosis of endometriosis was con rmed in all patients. This study included 56 patients who completed pre-and postoperative (three months) evaluation of quality scale questionnaires: a visual analog scale for pelvic pain, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Endometriosis Health Pro le-30 Questionnaire, and Female Sexual Function Index were administered prior to and three months after each patient's surgery.
ResultsAmong the 56 female patients included in this study, statistically signi cant improvement statistically signi cant improvement was observed in pain scores, quality of life, sexual function, and sleep of all patients regardless of endometriosis stage.
ConclusionEndometriosis is a disease that progresses, with increasing pain scores; it has negative effects on the quality of life, sexual function, and sleep of patients. Surgical or medical treatment can be performed considering the complaints and fertility status of the patients.
Purpose
