A 10-cm visual-analogue scale (VAS) was used to investigate intensity of intermenstrual pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea or deep dyspareunia. The SF-36 form and the Zung Self-Rating Scale for Depression (SDS) were used to investigate quality of life and depressive symptoms, respectively. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; The final study group consisted of 248 patients, 175\/248 (70.6%) with intermenstrual pelvic pain, 46\/248 (18.5%) with dysmenorrhea and 27\/248 (10.9%) with deep dyspareunia associated or not with dysmenorrhea. Mean VAS score for dysmenorrhea was higher than that for deep dyspareunia (p &lt; 0.003) and intermenstrual pelvic pain (p &lt; 0.0001). Women with intermenstrual pelvic pain had the worst SF-36 (p &lt; 0.0001) and SDS (p &lt; 0.002) scores. SF-36 was independently and inversely related to intermenstrual pelvic pain (CR -1.522; 95% CI -2.188 to -0.856; p &lt; 0.0001), and less strongly to dysmenorrhea (CR -0.729; 95% CI -1.487 to 0.030; p = 0.06). Indeed, only the physical component summary of SF-36 was independently related to dysmenorrhea (CR -0.956; 95% CI -1.783 to -0.129; p = 0.024). The SDS score was independently related only to intermenstrual pelvic pain (CR 0.573; 95% CI 0.241-0.904; p = 0.0008). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Patients with intermenstrual pelvic pain have the worst SF-36 and SDS scores. Intermenstrual pelvic pain seems to be more strongly associated with a reduced quality of life and depressive mood.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000343997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,23]],"date-time":"2012-11-23T08:51:42Z","timestamp":1353660702000},"page":"97-100","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Intermenstrual Pelvic Pain, Quality of Life and Mood"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Grandi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anjeza","family":"Xholli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serena","family":"Ferrari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianna","family":"Cannoletta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annibale","family":"Volpe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Cagnacci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2001.112904"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0029-7844(95)00458-0"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1998.tb09357.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-842X.2004.tb00446.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000336768"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000113048"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09513590802549858"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.38748.697465.55"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2002.124940"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejpain.2004.07.003"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0100-72032010000500008"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0104-42302002000300033"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-1241.2009.02034.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01443610400019138"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02133860"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1965.01720310065008"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.132.4.381"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(89)90113-9"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0091270010394852"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000321392"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2010.01976.x"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2011.05.090"}],"container-title":["Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/343997","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/343997","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/343997","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:30:31Z","timestamp":1745433031000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000343997"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,23]]},"references-count":22,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,25]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000343997","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0378-7346","1423-002X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0378-7346","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-002X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,23]]}}}
