Table 1.

Clinicopathological characteristics of patients and healthy controls involved in the study. AD patients showed significantly higher rates of menorrhagia than DEN patients (** p = 0.006). Rates of dysmenorrhea were found to be significantly higher in both DEN and AD patients than in healthy controls (* p = 0.018; 0.046).
