Long-term Study on Medical and Surgical Treatments for Deep Pelvic Endometriosis in Women

What this Trial Is About

Endometriosis is a chronic, non-cancerous gynecological condition that affects 5 to 10% of women of reproductive age and is often linked to pelvic pain, digestive issues, and infertility. This research aims to evaluate the long-term effects of various medical and surgical treatments for deep pelvic endometriosis on symptoms, quality of life, recurrence, and fertility outcomes. It is a prospective, observational, single-center study conducted at the Endometriosis Center of Clinique Tivoli-Ducos in Bordeaux, France. Participants include women with confirmed pelvic endometriosis diagnosed histologically or by imaging. Data is collected through standardized questionnaires completed at the start of the study and then again at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. The questionnaires cover symptoms, fertility status, and quality of life. Surgical details and complications are also recorded when surgery occurs. Data can be submitted via a secure online platform or paper forms. During the study, participants will complete follow-up questionnaires over a 10-year period. Researchers will monitor symptom changes, digestive function, fertility outcomes, disease progression, and treatment effectiveness. A quality assurance plan ensures data accuracy and completeness. The study aims to improve understanding of endometriosis natural history and long-term treatment results to enhance patient care.
