Abstract

Successful treatment of endometriosis requires differentiating its symptoms from other sources of pain. Not all pelvic pain is due to endometriosis. If non-endometriotic sources of pain are ascribed to endometriosis, the results of treatment will seem confusing. While the interpretation of symptoms is part of the art of medicine, endometriosis is usually a disease that produces predictable symptoms.
