Endometriose em adultos: Patogênese, epidemiologia e impacto clínico
This literature review explored the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and clinical impact of endometriosis, highlighting diagnostic challenges, the unreliability of physical exams, and the importance of imaging and histology for definitive diagnosis.

This integrative literature review examined endometriosis in adults, focusing on pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic approaches, using studies published from 2019–2024 selected from SciELO, PubMed, and BVS (91 studies initially screened, with 5 full-text articles ultimately included after abstract review). The paper reports that physical examination findings are variable and imprecise by implant location and size, that pain intensity does not reliably indicate severity, and that no specific laboratory biomarkers exist; presumptive diagnosis is instead emphasized through symptoms and imaging (USG/MRI), with surgery described as the definitive standard and largely reserved for severe, refractory cases. It also notes a limitation that only a small subset of studies was included for full-text analysis, which may constrain comprehensiveness. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it synthesizes evidence on its epidemiology, clinical impact, and diagnostic evaluation in adult women.
