[Painful symptoms of pelvic endometriosis]
Abstract:
From February 1991 to January 1993, a total of 383 women of child-bearing age who were hospitalized in gynecologic ward were investigated for their painful symptoms, of whom 192 were found to be patients with endometriosis (endometriosis group). The other 191 cases without endometriosis served as the control. The results showed that the frequency of dysmenorrhea, lower abdominal or pelvic pain, dyspareunia, anal pressure pain during menstruation were 65.6%, 44.3%, 30.2% and 32.3% respectively in patients with endometriosis, and 37.7%, 33.0%, 20.9%, and 20.4% respectively in the control, the former were all significantly higher than the later respectively. Whereas the frequency of all the painful symptoms and the severity of dysmenorrhea were not correlated with the stages of endometriosis. It is suggested that patients with endometriosis have more painful symptoms besides dysmenorrhea, which are very useful for better recognization and more accurate diagnosis of this disease.
