Detailed Description: Endometriosis

Clinical Trial Description

Endometriosis is the condition involving the presence of glands or stroma of the endometrial lining outside the uterus cavity. Its characteristics include unpleasant pain in the pelvic region, impaired fertility, pain during or after sex, and heavy bleeding during periods. Endometriosis occurs as a result of genetic, angiogenic, immunological, and inflammatory factors. In endometriosis, adhesions may be formed due to local inflammation. It can also occur as the blood-filled implants start bleeding in their surroundings. As a result of this bleeding healing occurs which causes scar formation. Pharmacologically, NSAIDS are used for instant pain relief. The most common surgical approach is laparoscopy. Physiotherapy in its various forms can be an excellent complement to the gynecological treatment of endometriosis. as previous studies also reported the effect of pelvic massage, pelvic manipulation, kinesiotherapy, and hydrotherapy. According to researcher knowledge, there is limited evidence on wurn technique and mercier therapy and how these techniques improve dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and quality of life in women with endometriosis. This study aims to see the comparative effects of wurn technique and mercier therapy on dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and quality of life in women with endometriosis. ;
