Key Points

  • Significantly more pelvic pain was reported in the suspected group with a metric of F(1, 651) = 8.427 and p = .004.
  • The analysis of variance showed that anxiety symptoms were also notably higher in the suspected group with F(1, 651) = 9.437 and p = .002.
  • This study emphasizes the importance of diagnosis in managing pain and psychological distress in endometriosis patients.
