Abstract
Endometriosis is the c hronic disease, in which the glandular and stromal -like endometrium
grows outside the uterine cavity, Endometriosis is inflammatory and estrogen-dependent that affects 6-
10% of women during their reproduc tive years and up to 50% of women receiving fertility treatment.
The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the degree of pain with estradiol
hormone levels, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels and Nitrite Oxide (NO) in the blood serum of patients with
endometriosis. This type of research is an observational analytic with a cross sectional comparative
study design in which the dependent and independent var iables are obtained simultaneously. The
research was conducted in type B and C hospitals. To take blood serum samples for endometriosis
patients and the Biomedical Laboratory of FK Unand to check levels of estradiol hormone, levels of
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and NO. The study was conducted in January - November 2020. The population
was all patients who doing examination at the obstetrics gynecology department of the hospital. Samples
were taken consecutively that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria with a total sample of 40 people.
Data analysis using analyzed by univariate, bivariate and multivariate with chi -square test. The
research results were obtained The mean age of endometriosis patients was 38.85 years, the mean pain
degree of patients and the distribution of levels of estradiol, interleukin, 1β (IL-1β) and Nitric oxide. The
Results
of the bivariate analysis showed that there were differences degree of pain with each Estradiol
level, interleukin, 1β (IL-1β) as well as nitric oxide. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that
there was a difference in the degree of pain with the three Estradiol levels. interleukin, 1β (IL-1β) and
nitric oxide in the blood serum of people with endometriosis (P = 0,000 then p <α (0.05). From the
research results it can be concluded that there are the relationship between degree of pain and level
Estradiol, interleukin, 1β (IL-1β) and nitric oxide in the blood serum of people with endometriosis.

1.Introduction
Endometriosis is a chronic and painful disease which the endometrium such as glandular cells and
stroma grows outside the uterine cavity [1,2]. Endometriosis is an inflammation and estrogen-dependent
disease that affects 6-10% of women during their reproductive years and up to 50% of women receiving
fertility treatment. When the endometrial tissue is present in the myometrium, it is called adenomyosis.
The site of endometriosis is often found in the pelvic peritoneum but it can be found in other places such
as the ovaries and utero -sacral ligaments [3,4]. Endometriosis represents a very significant problem in
gynecology, affecting 10% -20% of women who are still menstruating. Found in 30% -45% of infertile
women. In the world, 10% of women are estimated to have endometriosis. Endometriosis cases cause
20% of all gynecological operations and is the only cause of non -obstetric hospitalization (> 5%) in
women aged 15-44 years [5-7]. For this reason, it is necessary to investigate the correlation between the
degree of pain and Estradiol hormones levels, interleukin,1β (IL-1β) levels and nitric oxide in the blood
serum of people with endometriosi s. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the degree of
pain and Estradiol hormones levels, interleukin,1β (IL-1β) levels and nitric oxide in the blood serum of
people with endometriosis.

2.Materials and methods
This study was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional comparative study design which
the dependent and independent variables were obtained at the same time. The sample in this study was
40 patients with endometriosis diagnosed by a specialist in Gynecological Obstetrics in accordance with
the ASRM criteria and transvaginal ultrasound examination in Hospital. This study was started from
January to November 2020 in the City of Padang. Retrieving data by measuring the d egree of pain in
patients with endometriosis using a Visual analog scale / VAS (mm) and Estradiol levels, interleukin,
1β (IL-1β) and nitric oxide in blood serum in Andalas University Laboratory. This study explores the differences in the degree of pain in endometriosis sufferers with Estradiol
levels. interleukin, 1β (IL-1β) and nitric oxide in blood serum. Then analyze the relationship between
the dependent and independent variables. The dependent variables of this study were levels of the
hormone estradiol; IL-1β levels; and NO, while the independent variable is the degree of endometriosis
pain.
3.Results and discussions
Based on the results of research conducted on the Relationship between Pain Degree and Estradiol
Hormone Levels, Interleukin -1β (IL-1β) Levels and Nitrite Oxide in Blood Serum for Endometriosis
Patients in 2020. with a sample size of 40 endometriosis sufferers. the following research results were
obtained:
Table 1. Distribution of clinical frequency of
Menstrual pain in patients with endometriosis
Variable Percentage n
Low 12.5 5
Moderate 35.0 14
Weight 52.5 21
Based on Table 1, it shows that of the 40 respondents, 21 people with endometriosis experienced
severe pain (52.5%), while for moderate pain there were 14 people (35%) and 5 people with low pain
degrees (12.5). Most endometriosis sufferers experienced severe pain degrees of 52.5%.
The results of the research that has been done, it is known that from 40 respondents It was found that
the mean degree of pain in endometriosis patients was 5.98 with a standard deviation of 1.942. The
lowest pain degree score was 2 and the highest was 9 in 2020. From the results of the research obtained
after measuring the degree of pain using the Vas scale in endometriosis sufferers, it was found that 52.5%
of respondents had a high pain scale above the average.
This is consistent with the research that endometriosis patients show a higher VAS value compared
to normal women on the same pain stimulus. This suggests the possibility of sensitization in endo -
metriosis patients [8-10].

Based on Table 2. It shows 4 people with endometriosis with normal estradiol levels with 2 people
with moderate pain degrees (50%) and 2 people with severe pain degrees (50%). While there were 36
patients with endometriosis with abnormal estradiol levels with 5 people (13.9%) with low pain degrees,
12 people with moderate pain degrees (33.3%) and 19 severe pain degrees (52.8%). Most endometriosis
sufferers experience severe pain with abnormal estradiol levels.
The statistical test results obtained by the value of P = 0.024, then p <α (0.05), it can be concluded
that there is a correlation between the degree of pain and the level of the hormone estradiol in the blood
serum of patients with endometriosis.

Based on Table 3, it shows that 1 person with endometriosis with normal blood serum IL1β levels
with moderate pain degrees. Meanwhile, there were 39 patients with endometriosis with abnormal
estradiol levels with 5 people (12.8%) with low pain degrees, 13 people with moderate pain degrees
(33.3%) and 21 people with severe pain degrees (53 .8%). Endometriosis sufferers experience the most
severity of pain with abnormal IL1β levels. The statistical test results showed that the value of P = 0.000,
then p <α (0.05), it can be concluded that there is a correlation between the degree of pain and the IL1β
level in the blood serum of patients with endometriosis [11-16].

Based on Table 4, it was found that all (100%) endometriosis sufferers had abnormal blood serum
NO levels. Endometriosis sufferers experience the most severe degrees of pain having abnormal NO
levels. The statistical test results showed that the value of P = 0.000, then p <α (0.05), it can be concluded
that there is a correlation between the degree of pain and the NO level in the blood serum of
endometriosis sufferers. This is in accordance with the increase in the number and activity of
macrophages in endometriosis patients is accompanied by excessive release of cytokines and immune
mediators such as NO (a type of ROS). Previous studies have also shown that increased NO and NOS
are found in endometriosis patients [17-24].

Based on Table 5 is the final result of the multivariate analysis of multiple logistic regression tests.
Because the levels of estradiol, IL-1β and NO have p <0.05, these variables were not excluded from the
model and all three are factors that influence the degree of pain in endometriosis sufferers. In addition,
the R square value is 0.19, this means that the variable levels of estradiol, IL -1β and NO have a
contribution of 19% to the degree of pain in endometriosis patients.
4. Conclusions
Based on the results of the research conducted the results showed that the levels were increased from
normal, so there was a close correlation between the degree of pain and blood serum levels of estradiol,
IL-1β and NO and the threshold of menstrual pain. The higher the blood s erum levels of estradiol, IL -
1β and NO accompanied by the heavier a person's menstrual pain, it helps prove the existence of an
endometriosis.the year 2020.
