AB  - INTRODUCTION: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is one of the most frequent symptoms in 
      women of reproductive age. This is an enigmatic clinical condition that results 
      from the complex interactions of physiological and psychological factors with 
      direct impact on the social, marital, and professional lives of women. AIM: To 
      evaluate the quality of life and sexual satisfaction of women who suffer from CPP 
      with or without endometriosis. METHOD: Forty-nine patients who had been diagnosed 
      with endometriosis and 35 patients with CPP diagnosed with another gynecological 
      condition, all 84 of whom were treated at the Chronic Pelvic Pain and 
      Endometriosis Clinic at Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) from January 
      to July of 2008. The controls were 50 healthy women from the Family Planning 
      Clinic at UNIFESP. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: World Health Organization Quality of 
      Life Assessment-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF) quality of life questionnaire and the 
      Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). RESULTS: No statistically 
      significant differences were observed between the groups with CPP symptoms, in 
      either the results from the WHOQOL-BREF or in the GRISS questionnaire. In both 
      questionnaires, differences were observed when the two groups of symptomatic 
      women were compared with the group of healthy women. CONCLUSION: CPP caused by 
      endometriosis or other gynecological conditions leads to a significant reduction 
      of quality of life and sexual satisfaction.
