Evaluation of laparoscopy results for the patients with chronic pelvic pain

Abstract

Aim: The study aims to retrospectively evaluate the laparoscopy results of patients who underwent laparoscopy with chronic pelvic pain (CPPS) diagnosis in two groups of fertile and infertile patients.
 Material and Method: This retrospective study examined the electronic records of 170 patients who underwent laparoscopy due to CPPS were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: the CPPS and unexplained infertility group (n: 87) as the case group and the CPPS fertile group (n: 83) as the control group. Women aged 25-40 years with unexplained infertility and CPPS were included in the study. 
 Results: Results found a statistically significant association between infertility in women and laparoscopy results (p0.05). There was no statistically significant association between women’s infertility and smoking status (p>0.05). Mann-Whitney test did not find a statistically significant association between case and control regarding age and body mass index (BMI) (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between groups in terms of the duration of pain (p
