Endometriosis and Mechanisms of Pelvic Pain
Abstract
Endometriosis remains an enigmatic disorder in that the cause, the natural history, and the precise mechanisms by which it causes pain are not completely understood. The pain symptoms most commonly attributed to endometriosis are dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain. Pain may be due to nociceptive, inflammatory, or neuropathic mechanisms, and there is evidence that all 3 of these mechanisms are relevant to endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. It is proposed that the clinically observed inconsistencies of the relationships of endometriosis severity and the presence or severity of pain are likely due to variable roles of different pain mechanisms in endometriosis. A better understanding of the roles of nociceptive, inflammatory, and neuropathic pain in endometriosis is likely to improve the treatment of women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
