This study is a Japanese post-marketing surveillance (PMS) which is required by the regulatory authorities. General objective of PMS is to confirm the clinical usefulness, especially the safety profile of a drug under the routine clinical practice.
It is a local, non-interventional, multi-center, single-cohort study using primary data of patients treated with YazFlex in endometriosis or dysmenorrhea indication. A total of 600 patients (300 for endometriosis and 300 for dysmenorrhea) is planned to be enrolled in 2 years. The treatment should be performed in Japan based on the product label. The patients will be observed for up to 2 years (1 year at the earliest) during their YazFlex treatment. The outcome variables for the primary objective are treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The outcome variables for the secondary objective include newly developed haemorrhagic ovarian cyst, genital bleeding, severity of dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and compliance status in the new flexible regimen.

Number of adverse drug reactions (ADRs)
Events will be summarized by frequency tables (e.g. absolute and relative frequencies) using the MedDRA cording system.
Time frame: Up to 2 years ( 1 year at the earliest)
Incidence proportions of YAZ-Flex therapy
Time frame: Up to 2 years ( 1 year at the earliest)
Incidence proportions of extent of bleeding
Time frame: Up to 2 years ( 1 year at the earliest)
Incidence proportions of treatment suspension
The duration of suspension is defined as a period of at least 3 consecutive days of treatment suspension.
Time frame: Up to 2 years ( 1 year at the earliest)
Number of days with menstrual pain
Menstrual pain is continuous menstrual pain or lower abdominal pain that is observed for menstruation or withdrawal blood events and may spread to the back or thigh. Pain may be recognized 2 days before bleeding, and ends by the last day of menstruation or withdrawal.

Change in severity of pelvic pain by using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
The degree of pelvic pain in each menstrual period, menstrual period, sexual intercourse and defecation will be evaluated using NRS score (11 levels from no pain is "0" to highest pain "10" ) in each month.
Time frame: Up to 2 years ( 1 year at the earliest)
Change in quality of Life by using EQ-5D-5L , EIS and/or MDQ
Endometriosis Impact Scale (EIS) (for disease burden of endometriosis) Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) (for disease burden of dysmenorrhea) EQ-5D (for general QOL measurement)
Time frame: Up to 2 years ( 1 year at the earliest)
