This paper reviews diagnostic approaches for endometriosis in patients presenting with dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia after discontinuing oral contraceptives.
One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
Abstract
As a general gynaecologist you see a 28 year old patient who presents with increasingly painful menstrual periods since she stopped oral contraceptives one year ago in order to conceive. Since intercourse is now also becoming painful, she decided to consult you. After taking her history and doing a pelvic examination you consider that she might have endometriosis and propose a diagnostic laparoscopy. Operation room capacity is limited however and long waiting lists exist. Are there easier ways to make the diagnosis?
