This prospective, questionnaire-based observational study (2022–2023, Innsbruck) evaluated how operative treatment for histologically confirmed endometriosis affects health-related quality of life and sexual function. Thirty-five women completed the EHP-30 and FSFI before surgery and about 6 months postoperatively, with participants stratified by intraoperative #ENZIAN classification into four groups, including a group with exclusively adenomyosis. Postoperatively, median EHP-30 pain improved significantly in groups with deep infiltrating and/or peritoneal/ovarian disease, and women with TIE plus ovarian endometriosis also showed improvement in EHP-30 self-determination and FSFI domains for arousal and pain; the prevalence of sexual dysfunction decreased from 54.3% preoperatively to 48.6% postoperatively. The paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates quality of life and sexual function before and after operative treatment in women with endometriosis, with adenomyosis included as a comparison group.
