This 2019 review discusses endometriosis as ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus, describing its prevalence (reported as 11%), common symptoms (prolonged pelvic pain, dyspareunia, repeated menstrual discomfort, chronic pelvic pain), and its relationship to infertility. It reviews “prevalent theories” underlying conventional histological concepts and focuses on how and why endometriosis diagnosis remains doubtful despite long-standing attempts to explain the condition historically. The paper explicitly frames itself as a narrative discussion of diagnostic theories and symptom descriptions rather than presenting new diagnostic data or systematic evaluation of the theories. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews prevalent theories that inform how endometriosis diagnosis is conceptualized.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition recognized by the existence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It is predominantly present in females of reproductive age group and is one of the main causes of infertility. Even with a predictable prevalence of 11% in females and considerable historical explanations adopted from the seventeenth century, the diagnosis of endometriosis still remains doubtful. The conventional concepts on histological basis of endometriosis are explained by a number of theories. Medical signs of endometriosis contain prolonged pelvic ache, dyspareunia, repeated menstrual discomfort and chronic pelvic pain which can severely affect the excellence of life and health of the patient. In this review we will discuss the prevalent theories for the diagnosis of endometriosis and suggestions to identify the condition well in time for better control and management
