External endometriosis, likely caused by retrograde tubal implantation, often results in infertility, with mild analgesics and pregnancy offering relief, surgery indicated for severe symptoms, and hormonal treatments providing symptomatic relief without cure.

Abstract

External endometriosis is best explained on the basis of retrograde tubal transportation of shed fragments of endometrium with implantation and growth on the ovaries and other pelvic structures and subsequent dissemination, frequently resulting in infertility. In the majority of cases mild analgesics and pregnancy afford relief. Operation is recommended when the symptoms are of sufficient magnitude. The newer progestogens plus estrogens, when used to create a state of pseudopregnancy, have provided relief of symptoms but have not proved curative.
