Ultrasonography is a diagnostic tool for pelvic pain and subfertility, involving transvaginal scanning of various pelvic compartments to identify endometriosis and other conditions, with systematic reporting crucial for patient management.

This chapter discusses ultrasonography for diagnosing pelvic pain or subfertility, focusing on systematic transvaginal scanning of multiple pelvic compartments (anterior, posterior, lateral, ovaries, and uterus) to identify endometriosis lesions and adenomyosis. It emphasizes a gentle examination approach to minimize discomfort and improve diagnostic yield, and it describes the kinds of findings that can be assessed (e.g., endometriomas and uterine involvement consistent with adenomyosis). The chapter’s key caveat is that imaging is presented as part of the diagnostic workup with reporting intended to support decisions about further management, without claiming uniform diagnostic performance across all contexts. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides a technique-and-reporting framework for ultrasound detection and characterization of endometriosis lesions and related adenomyosis findings.
