Adenomyosis and endometriosis are similar gynecological diseases that decrease sexual quality of life and, in the case of endometriosis, satisfaction in couple relationships. This study aimed to assess sexual quality of life and couple sati…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the utility of carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) to detect malignancy in women with ovarian endometriosis, when ovarian cancer is suspected and ultrasonography results are inconclusive. …

Background: Quality of life in adenomyosis (AD) patients has been poorly investigated. Previous data suggest that AD has negative impact on the quality of life in these women. Materials and Methods: From September 2018 to December 2019, all…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: We performed a long-term follow-up to quantify the impairment of sexual quality of life (SQL) and health-related QL (HRQL) in sexually active women after laparoscopic excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESI…
