Resumo
Endometriosis can be classified into three phenotypes: superficial, ovarian, and deep. Deep endometriosis (DE) has been associated with more severe pain symptoms, although no large-scale studies have evaluated the association between pain intensity and infertility and the different compartments of the pelvis affected by superficial and DE. This retrospective study included 1116 women who underwent laparoscopy for endometriosis treatment at two referral centers between 2009 and 2019. For the evaluation of each symptom, patients were divided according to their visual analog scale score (< 7 and >= 7) and fertility status. On multiple logistic regression, severe dysmenorrhea and dyschezia were correlated with DE of the posterior compartment alone (odds ratio (OR) = 1.6, confidence interval (CI) 1.09-2.34, and p = 0.02 and OR = 2.09, CI 1.36-3.23, and p < 0.01, respectively) and in combination with other compartments. DE of the posterior and lateral compartments had the most consistent statistical power (OR = 3.55 for dysmenorrhea and OR = 4.4 for dyschezia). Infertility was associated with DE of the posterior compartment alone (OR = 1.6, CI 1.06-2.54, p = 0.04) and in combination with the anterior compartment (OR = 2.62, CI 1.29-5.29, p < 0.01), with the combination of posterior and anterior compartment having the highest OR value. Severe dyschezia and infertility were also correlated with the presence of multiple localizations of DE (p = 0.04 and p < 0.01). This study confirms the association between DE and severe pain symptoms as well as the influence of the number of DE compartments on the severity of symptoms and the chance of infertility.
