Characteristics of psycho-emotional manifestations and evaluation of the quality of life indicators in women with ovarian endometrioma combined with pelvic inflammatory diseases
Women with ovarian endometrioma and pelvic inflammatory disease experienced higher levels of pain, depression, and anxiety, along with significantly lower quality of life scores compared to those with isolated endometriosis.

The study evaluated psycho-emotional status and health-related quality of life in 44 women with ovarian endometriomas combined with pelvic inflammatory disease, compared with 46 women with isolated ovarian endometriosis and 30 symptom-free controls, using SF-36, Beck Depression, Spielberger–Khanin anxiety scales, and a visual analogue scale for pain. Women with combined disease reported more severe pain, including stronger reductions in activity and transient work disability for over half of the ovarian endometrioma + PID group, and they also had higher depression and anxiety levels than both the isolated endometriosis group and controls, while SF-36 scores were lower across multiple domains, including general health, physical functioning, pain-related interference with physical activity, and emotional dissatisfaction. The authors explicitly attribute clinical presentation and measured outcomes to the combined condition, but the cross-sectional design and modest sample sizes limit causal interpretation and generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ovarian endometrioma combined with pelvic inflammatory diseases and its impact on depression, anxiety, pain, and SF-36 quality-of-life indicators.
