Endometriosis is a disabling gynecological pathology. Couples who face it frequently encounter sexual difficulties related to dyspareunia. This study aims to understand the sexual experiences of endometriosis patients and their partners.
A total of 13 patients and 13 partners were interviewed prior to surgery. Semi-structured interviews were conducted separately and explored their sexual experiences. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using content analysis.
Both members of the couple reported pain during intercourses; decreased sexual desire; adaptation during sexual intercourses; communication about sexuality, which can be either open or a source of conflict, and the search for explanations for endometriosis. As for the emotional sphere, patients report anticipatory anxiety while partners report frustration and hope.
These couples are in difficulty regarding sexuality, it is necessary to take care of both members of the couple and to encourage communication between them.

在手术前，共对13名患者和13名伴侣进行了访谈。分别进行了半结构化访谈，探讨他们的性经历。访谈内容逐字记录，并采用内容分析法进行分析。
夫妻双方均报告了性交时的疼痛；性欲下降；性交时的适应情况；关于性的沟通，这可能是开放的，也可能是冲突的根源，以及对子宫内膜异位症的解释探索。至于情感方面，患者报告有预期焦虑，而伴侣则报告有沮丧和希望。
