How pelvic floor muscles relate to endometriosis pain

Researchers want to understand how endometriosis affects the pelvic floor muscles—the muscles that support your pelvic organs—and how this relates to pelvic pain. This study will compare women who have been diagnosed with endometriosis to women without the condition, using surveys and assessments to see if there are differences in muscle function and pain patterns.

Endometriosis causes chronic pelvic pain for many women, but doctors don't fully understand why some women have more pain than others or how the pelvic floor muscles contribute. This research aims to fill that gap so that treatments can be better tailored to address both the disease and the pain it causes.
