Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a disabling condition affecting 10--15% of U.S. women of reproductive age. Endometriosis, one of the most common causes of CPP, is associated with symptoms of pelvic pain, painful sexual intercourse and infertility. The purpose of this study was to articulate the woman's and her partner's illness understanding, symptom experience, and relationship responses to living with CPP.

520 $a Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a disabling condition affecting 10--15% of U.S. women of reproductive age. Endometriosis, one of the most common causes of CPP, is associated with symptoms of pelvic pain, painful sexual intercourse and infertility. The purpose of this study was to articulate the woman's and her partner's illness understanding, symptom experience, and relationship responses to living with CPP.
520 $a The study was a mixed-method design, with qualitative methodology as primary. Narrative interviews were conducted individually and jointly. A measurement of distress, the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) was used as an adjunct quantitative method. Thirteen English speaking women in a partnered or marital relationship, who had received a diagnosis of endometriosis, and experienced pelvic pain for at least six months, and their partners, comprised the sample.
520 $a The women's illness experiences were categorized into themes including onset of pain, seeking answers, getting a diagnosis, and finding relief of pain. Endometriosis was experienced as ambiguous. Making sense of symptoms and treatments was fraught with uncertainty and contradiction. Living with CPP disrupts day to day life as well as areas of intimate relatedness. Five relational patterns in couples living with endometriosis are described that vary on degree of closeness, how care responsibilities are enacted, how conjoined the couples are in their experiences, and how overtaken their lives are with the disease. A broad range of relational possibilities were evident. These patterns articulate couples' relational concerns as well as daily management of illness.
520 $a The depression subscale scores for this sample of women with CPP were significantly higher than published norms for women from non-clinical settings (p ≤ .001). These scores parallel high rates of depression found in other chronic pain populations. This research sheds light on how depression may evolve while living with CPP. Nearly all of the women described feeling desperate at points in their illness trajectory because of the lack of effective treatments and perpetual uncertainty and worry about the future. Implications for health care are included.
