Whatever the cause of endometriosis, its progression is influenced by various stimulating factors such as hormones or growth factors. Diagnosis of endometriosis begins with a gynecologist's evaluation of the patient s medical history. A complete physical examination, including pelvic examination, is also necessary. The laparoscopy will show the locations, extent, and size of the growths and will help the patient and her doctor make a better-informed decision about treatment. Endometriosis is aberrant growth of endometrium outside the uterus, particularly in the dependent parts of the pelvis and in the ovaries.
Endometriosis is a common cause of abnormal bleeding and secondary dysmenorrhea.
