Brief Summary

Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease affecting 10% (1 out of 10) of women of reproductive age. Pelvic pain is common among women with endometriosis. Women with chronic pelvic pain conditions have elevated rates of relational stress and lower quality of life. The aim of our study is to analyse the extent of pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, as well as the study focuses on correlations between pelvic pain and physical activity, pain-related self-efficacy, perceived stress and different aspects of health related quality of life.
