Objective: to analyze the prevalence of painful symptoms in women with endometriosis in a capital of northeastern Brazil. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive survey study with a quantitative approach was conducted with 107 women receiving care at two specialized endometriosis centers. After approval by the research ethics committee, data collection took place from January to August 2023, using a form containing sociodemographic data and the Endopain 4D instrument. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and the application of Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Results: the majority of women were aged between 40 and 44 years, married, brown, with higher education, and a family income exceeding one minimum wage. A statistically significant association was observed between high levels of pain and symptoms related to dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, and bowel changes. Conclusion: pain in women with endometriosis is associated with various aspects of dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and dyschezia.
