This book describes endometriosis, including its estimated prevalence among women evaluated for pelvic pain and infertility, and the limitation that accurate diagnosis requires laparoscopic examination of the pelvis. It presents a clinician-oriented, succinct text covering epidemiology and etiology, diagnosis, investigation, and both medical and surgical treatment, with color illustrations. The main caveat explicitly noted is that the true prevalence remains unknown due to diagnostic uncertainty. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is a clinical book covering epidemiology, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment for the condition.

Abstract

Endometriosis affects a huge number of women throughout the world. It has been estimated that between 1% and 15% of women who are examined for pelvic pain and infertility may have endometriosis; the true prevalence is unknown because diagnosis can only be made with any accuracy by laparoscopic examination of the pelvis. This book provides clinicians with all the information they need in a succinct and clear text, with colour illustrations. Chapters cover: epidemiology and aetiology; diagnosis; investigation; medical treatment; and surgical treatment.
