This paper reviews published studies from 2001–2016 to synthesize evidence on how history taking, clinical examination, and transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) can guide diagnosis and treatment planning when endometriosis is suspected, either with absent clinical correlates or with high preoperative suspicion. It reports that detailed anamnesis helps identify likely lesion locations, while pain scales such as the VAS are described as having limited predictive value; it also notes that in the presence of endometriomas, the predictive value for deep infiltrating endometriosis increases when specific symptoms meet thresholds (e.g., VAS ≥5 with dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, or chronic lower abdominal pain), when symptoms persist ≥24 months, and/or when infertility is present. The paper states that combining experienced clinician-performed pelvic examination with TVS yields high predictive value, including precise endometrioma diagnosis based on imaging criteria and the use of TVS dynamics (e.g., “sliding” to assess adhesions, Douglas space obliteration, and rectosigmoid involvement). This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates how anamnesis, clinical exam, and TVS predict lesion presence and extent to support treatment strategies in suspected endometriosis.
