The provided “paper body” is not the content of the research article; it contains a website protection message (“Making sure you're not a bot!”) describing an Anubis proof-of-work page intended to deter automated scraping. No study methods, participant population, results, or limitations from the claimed endometriosis qualitative research are included in the text supplied. Because the actual paper content is inaccessible, the summary cannot be derived from the provided material. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is described by its title as a qualitative study of sexuality experience in patients with endometriosis and their partners, but the substantive findings are not present in the supplied text.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the sexual experiences of endometriosis patients and their partners.MethodsA total of 13 patients and 13 partners were interviewed prior to surgery. Semi-structured interviews were conducted separately and explored their sexual experiences. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using content analysis.ResultsBoth members of the couple reported pain during intercourses; decreased sexual desire; adaptation during sexual intercourses; communication about sexuality, which can be either open or a source of conflict, and the search for explanations for endometriosis. As for the emotional sphere, patients report anticipatory anxiety while partners report frustration and hope.ConclusionThese couples are in difficulty regarding sexuality, it is necessary to take care of both members of the couple and to encourage communication between them.

Making sure you're not a bot! Loading... You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone. Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive. Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate. Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
