The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact on quality of life, psychological health, sexuality and chronic pain of therapies which determine amenorrhea in symptomatic women with endometriosis, through the administration of self reported questionnaires. Amenorrhea in the first group is caused by balanced assumption of estroprogestins, in the second group is caused by GnRHa-induced hypoestrogenism.
