Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition that can cause mild to severe pain during the menstrual period, “dysmenorrhea”, and may lead to infertility. Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue grows in areas other than the uterus; some of which can be visualized by transvaginal ultrasound. The severity of the disease can be confirmed by looking inside the body during a laparoscopy. There are no tests to accurately determine if you have endometriosis. Diagnosis can only be made surgically, although sometimes clinical or ultrasound signs and symptoms can be quite helpful in suggesting the presence of endometriosis.
