Influence of endometriosis and some methods of its treatment on the quality of life of women of reproductive age

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of endometriosis and some
wide-spread contemporary methods of its conservative hormonal and operative treatment on the life quality of women of reproductive age. 546 women, aged 20-40, were examined: 371 patients with initially diagnosed endometriosis, 64 — after conservative hormonal therapy, 111 — after efficient surgical interventions and 30 healthy women (a control group). The following conclusion has been made: endometriosis arising at the reproductive age greatly deteriorates the life quality of women as compared to the healthy ones but none of the studied methods of its conservative hormonal therapy and efficient surgical treatment enables its rehabilitation.
