This prospective cohort study enrolled 56 women aged 18–60 with a prediagnosis of endometriosis, confirmed by postoperative histopathology, and assessed pelvic pain (visual analog scale), quality of life, sexual function, and sleep before surgery and again three months afterward. Using validated questionnaires including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire, Endometriosis Health Profile-30, and the Female Sexual Function Index, the study found statistically significant improvements in pain scores, quality of life, sexual function, and sleep across patients regardless of endometriosis stage. The main limitation explicitly stated in the abstract is the short postoperative follow-up window of only three months. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates changes in quality of life, sexual function, and sleep before and after surgery in confirmed endometriosis patients.
