Endometriosis and sexual functioning: How much do psycho-emotional factors matter?
Endometriosis is a gynecological condition often associated with genito-pelvic pain. Psycho-emotional factors, such as lack of emotional awareness and/or presence of negative emotions, have an important role on sexual dysfunctions. These factors could be associated with higher pain perception and worse sexual outcomes in endometriosis women. The aim of the present study was to compare the psycho-emotional profile and the sexual functioning of women with and without endometriosis.
