Resumo(s)

Introduction: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by significant pain leading to a diminished quality of life (QoL). This study investigated the extent to which body image mediates the relationship between pain perception and QoL. Methods: A total of 106 women (mean age=33.54 years, SD=7.43) participated in this cross-sectional study. Results: The results indicated that both pain perception and body image significantly influenced QoL. Mediation analysis revealed that higher pain perception was associated with increased body dissatisfaction, which, in turn, contributed to poorer QoL. Discussion: These findings highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis management.
