The purpose of this exploratory survey is to identify treatments that help with fatigue in patients with endometriosis. Image Endometriosis is a common chronic disease affecting approximately 10% of women in their reproductive age leading to chronic pelvic pain, painful menstrual cramps, pain during sexual intercourse and difficulties getting pregnant. Although chronic fatigue is recognised as one of the most significant symptoms of endometriosis, it is still a widely neglected topic. Various treatments are available for endometriosis such as pain medication, hormonal therapy, and surgery. However, most of the published research focusses on improvements in pain symptoms without considering the effect of these treatments on fatigue. The purpose of this exploratory survey is to identify treatments that help with fatigue in patients with endometriosis. The survey includes the Brief Fatigue Inventory and questions we have designed. Findings from this study will help with the design of future research on endometriosis treatments and fatigue.
