Abstract
ABSTRACT: Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. It is often diagnosed during the childbearing years, although females may experience symptoms for years before receiving a diagnosis. Symptoms vary by individual but may include chronic pelvic pain, gastrointestinal disturbances, back pain, dyschezia, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea, and can result in a reduced quality of life. Early diagnosis is key, and recognizing the signs and symptoms of endometriosis promotes earlier initiation of treatment, ultimately promoting patients' physical health and mental well-being. This article describes the potential causes and risk factors of endometriosis; signs and symptoms; diagnostic procedures; treatments options; and related concerns, such as infertility.
