- Data are mean ± standard deviation (SD)
- AM adenomyosis, EM endometriosis
- aThe degree of baseline pain was evaluated by the pre-surgical visual analogue scale (VAS) score (0–10 indicates no pain to severe pain)
- bBaseline menstrual blood loss was assessed using the pre-surgical Mansfield-Voda-Jorgensen (MVJ) score, ranging from 1 (spotting) to 6 (gushing)
- cSignificant difference compared with the AM and EM groups (both p < 0.001)
