Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether a relationship exists between personality and expression of pain in women with endometriosis.
STUDY DESIGN: With use of the Rosenzweig picture frustration study, the personality of women with endometriosis was assessed. These results were then correlated with the manifestation of pain.
RESULTS: Women without dysmenorrhea tended to be less assertive compared with women who complained of dysmenorrhea and women without endometriosis. Those women without dysmenorrhea showed a destructive attitude in face of a problem.
CONCLUSIONS: Personality affected the expression of pain. Pain caused by endometriosis was influenced by each personality type.
