In 67% of cases, the disease begins during adolescence. The aim of this study is to identify prognostic markers of endometriosis in adolescents with dysmenorrhea. We recruited 50 adolescent female patients with a history of dysmenorrhea for at least 6 months, with onset during the teenage years. The findings highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach to pain assessment in the diagnosis of endometriosis. Chronic pelvic pain, particularly when combined with other characteristic clinical manifestations, should be considered a significant diagnostic criterion that warrants the implementation of a targeted diagnostic algorithm to confirm or rule out endometriosis.\nFiles\nARIMS 6204.pdf\nFiles\n(622.9 kB)\n| Name | Size | Download all |\n|---|---|---|\n|\nmd5:5f4121daa81289af625294bda15c1e26\n|\n622.9 kB | Preview Download |","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
