Endometriosis Diagnosis


FAQ

How is endometriosis diagnosed?

Endometriosis is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history evaluation, physical examination, and laparoscopic surgery. During laparoscopy, a surgeon inserts a thin, lighted tube through a small incision in the abdomen to visualize and confirm the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Biopsy of the tissue may be performed for confirmation and to determine the severity of the condition.

What tests are used to diagnose endometriosis?

  • Medical history evaluation
  • Pelvic examination
  • Transvaginal ultrasound
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Laparoscopy (gold standard for diagnosis)
  • Biopsy of suspected endometrial tissue

Can endometriosis be diagnosed without surgery?

While laparoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis, non-invasive methods such as medical history evaluation, pelvic examination, transvaginal ultrasound, and MRI can provide valuable information and help in the diagnosis. However, definitive confirmation typically requires a surgical procedure like laparoscopy to visualize and biopsy the endometrial tissue.
