The Association Between Ovarian Endometrioma and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To assess the relationship between ovarian endometrioma and lower urinary tract symptoms, sexual function and gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition, the investigators also assess the impact of surgeries for ovarian endometrioma on lower urinary tract symptoms, sexual function and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Detailed Description
-----------------
All patients were found to have ovarian endometrioma were invited to participate in this study. The size and location of ovarian endometrioma should be assessed by ultrasonography. Besides, all enrolled female patients will be asked to complete overactive bladder symptom score, female bladder function, female sexual function, and bowel incontinence assessment questionnaires and CA125 level. In addition, patients who underwent surgeries for ovarian endometrioma will be requested to complete the above questionnaires and CA125 check-up at 3 & 6 months after surgery. At least 30 women with age and body mass index matched and without ovarian endometrioma will be invited to participate in this study as the control group.
