The paper studied pain and psychological symptoms in reproductive-age women with external genital endometriosis, comparing 60 women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain to 40 women with external genital endometriosis without pain. Pain severity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, depression with the Beck scale, and anxiety with the Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire. The authors found that among those with pelvic pain, 33.3% had severe pain, 41.6% moderately severe pain, and 25.1% mild pain, and that depressive disorders occurred in 64% of women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. The paper does not explicitly discuss limitations in the provided text. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates pain severity and depression/anxiety in women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain caused by external genital endometriosis.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the severity of pain syndrome and depression syndrome in women with endometriosis- associated pelvic pain. Materials and methods . The study included 100 women of reproductive age with external genital endometriosis. The study group consisted of 60 patients with pelvic pain associated with external genital endometriosis; the control group consisted of 40 women with external genital endometriosis without pain. The pelvic pain was ranked using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS); the level of depression was evaluated using the Beck scale; the anxiety was rated according to the Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire. Results . Among the 60 women in the study group, 20 patients (33.3%) had severe pain, 25 women (41.6%) had moderately severe pain, and 15 women (25.1%) had mild pain. The occurrence of depressive disorders in women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain was 64%. Conclusion . The results suggest that the psycho-emotional status of women with external genital endometriosis-associated pelvic pain is dominated by high level of depression and anxiety, which significantly downgrades their quality of life.
