This chapter discusses the main recommendations of the French CNGOF–HAS guideline work (published in 2018) aimed at providing evidence-based guidance on benefits and risks for the menstruating person, based on appraisal of study quality and outcomes. It emphasizes that endometriosis prevalence remains uncertain due to incomplete knowledge of symptom-free disease, underconsultation among symptomatic people, and the need for additional exams or surgery to reach a definite diagnosis, especially for deep disease; it also states that endometriosis has a multifactorial origin with no rationale for systematic screening and that available natural history data do not support rapid or inevitable progression. It highlights key suggestive and localizing signs (including severe menstrual pain, dyspareunia, pain with defecation or urinary symptoms during menses, and infertility) and notes that initial evaluation should include clinical examination and pelvic ultrasound, which can still be normal in endometriosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it summarizes CNGOF–HAS recommendations and clarifies misconceptions regarding prevalence, etiology, natural history, and diagnostic approach.
