What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather health profiles of women suffering from endometriosis and adenomyosis through structured questionnaires that assess quality of life and reproductive health. The study will also collect sonographic characteristics and identify risk factors associated with severe disease. By analyzing this data, the investigators hope to propose optimal treatment modalities tailored to different patient groups, including those with and without fertility wishes. The study is conducted at a tertiary gynecology referral center with a high volume of patients affected by these conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies and better quality of life for women suffering from endometriosis and adenomyosis.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on endometriosis and adenomyosis, this specific observational approach focusing on health profiles and treatment modalities is relatively novel.
