Psychosomatic comorbidity in endometriosis: A multi-center, cross-sectional study identifying an underestimated factor in current medical support
The study supports a strong association between psychosomatic comorbidity and endometriosis. Pathophysiological mechanisms of this association should be further evaluated to better understand endometriosis development. Endometriosis should be treated with a holistic, multidisciplinary approach, combining physical and psychological aspects to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
