Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* New or re-referral appointment at the BC Women's Centre for Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis.
* Consented to be contacted for future research in the centre data registry (EPPIC NCT02911090; H16-00264).
* Surgically confirmed endometriosis, current imaging diagnosis, or current clinically suspected endometriosis diagnosed at the new or re-referral appointment as coded in the registry.

* Willing and committed to completing six questionnaires about pain.
QST specific criteria
• Willing and committed to QST testing.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
* Post-menopausal.
* Does not speak English - Patients who do not speak English will be excluded to maintain the safety and well-being of the patient, as not understanding the test and process may harm the patient and reduce the validity of the results. We do not have research funding for a translator. Additionally, patients who require a translator are not typically included in the data registry and therefore are unlikely to be in our sample.
QST specific criteria
* Diabetes or neurological disease predisposing to neuropathic pain.
* Previous laparotomy (i.e. large abdominal incision)
* Physical trauma (ex., surgery, scaring) to heterotropic QST test site(s) (i.e. deltoid muscle in the shoulder, thenar eminence).
