AI-generated summary
Recurrence rates of endometriosis, often calculated from symptomatic patients, can reach 45% within five years, but the cause of symptoms, whether true recurrence or microscopic implant expansion, remains unclear.

Abstract
Endometriosis may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic. Recurrence rates are mostly calculated on the basis of symptomatic patients re-presenting to their doctor. Based on the number of patients who experience recurrence of symptoms after medical or surgical therapy, recurrence rates of up to 45% after five years have been calculated. Whether the symptoms are due to real recurrence of disease or expanding, previously microscopic, endometriotic implants has not yet been established. Therapy should be tailored to the patient's complaints, but does not necessarily have to differ from that in patients with primary disease.
