Endometriosis: diagnosis and management

This guideline makes recommendations for the diagnosis and management of endometriosis in community services, gynaecology services and specialist endometriosis services (endometriosis centres). The guideline also covers the care of women with confirmed or suspected endometriosis, including recurrent endometriosis. It includes women who do not have symptoms but have endometriosis discovered incidentally. Special consideration was given to young women (aged 17 and under). The guideline does not cover the investigation of fertility problems related to endometriosis, care of women with endometriosis occurring outside the pelvis, nor postmenopausal women.
