Abstract

(Abstracted from Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2016; doi: 10.1111/aogs.13031) Endometriosis occurs in 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age. Approximately two-thirds of women with this chronic disease experience some type of sexual dysfunction, such as dyspareunia, low satisfaction, low arousal, lack of desire, and orgasm difficulties.
