The paper examines how endometriosis-associated infertility affects sexuality, couple relationship dynamics, overall quality of life, and psychological well-being. Using a research approach described in the full text, it reports that women experiencing infertility in the context of endometriosis show measurable impairments across these psychosocial domains. A key limitation highlighted by the paper is the difficulty of generalizing findings beyond the study’s specific sample and design. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on the impact of endometriosis-related infertility on sexuality, relationship functioning, quality of life, and psychological well-being.

Abstract

L’endometriosi è una patologia ginecologica cronica caratterizzata dalla presenza e dalla crescita di tessuto endometriale al di fuori dalla cavità uterina. Le cisti sono solitamente localizzate nell’area addominale e nelle zone circostanti (Denny, Mann, 2007a, 2007b; Eriksen et al., 2008; Rogers et al., 2009; Montanari et al., 2013). La condizione è estrogeno-dipendente e colpisce circa il 15% delle donne in età fertile e il 30% delle giovani donne con ridotta fertilità (Gazvani, Templeton, 2002; Petrelluzzi et al., 2012). L’eziopatogenesi rimane controversa: si ipotizza il coinvolgimento di cause immunologiche, ormonali, genetiche e ambientali (Busacca et al., 2006; Minici et al., 2007; Galandrini et al., 2008; García Manero et al., 2009; Porpora et al., 2009; Kajihara et al., 2011; Ballester et al., 2012; Vichi et al., 2012; Begum, Chowdhury, 2013).
