Abstract

Ectopic endometrial tissue is found in 2% to 6% of women of reproductive age, in up to 60% of those with dysmenorrhoea, and up to 30% of women with subfertility, with a peak incidence at around 40 years of age. However, symptoms may not correlate with laparoscopic findings.\nWithout treatment, endometrial deposits may resolve spontaneously in up to one third of women, deteriorate in nearly half, and remain unchanged in the remainder.Oral contraceptives reduce the risk of endometriosis, whereas an early menarche and late menopause increase the risk.\n
