Abstract

SummaryA structured questionnaire was employed to compare symptomatology between patients with newly diagnosed endometriosis and a control group. A number of symptoms, including constipation, diarrhoea, nocturnal micturition, bloating and lethargy, not classically associated with endometriosis, were more common in the cases than controls. This information may facilitate treatment of some patients by expiditing diagnostic laparoscopy.
