Accurate Diagnostic Pathway

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all pelvic pain endometriosis?▾
No. Pelvic pain can come from many sources: dysmenorrhea (period pain), ovarian cysts, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic floor dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome, or even anxiety. The evaluation distinguishes these causes so you get the right treatment.
Can you diagnose endometriosis without surgery?▾
Clinical diagnosis and ultrasound findings can suggest endometriosis, but definitive diagnosis requires laparoscopy and biopsy. Many women benefit from empiric hormonal treatment before pursuing surgical diagnosis. Your provider discusses the pros and cons of each approach.
What is the difference between primary and secondary dysmenorrhea?▾
Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain without underlying disease and often responds well to NSAIDs and hormonal contraceptives. Secondary dysmenorrhea is pain caused by a condition like endometriosis or fibroids. Exam and imaging help determine which type you have.
If I have endometriosis, does that affect pregnancy?▾
Endometriosis can affect fertility, but many women with mild to moderate endometriosis conceive naturally. Severe endometriosis or involvement of the ovaries may reduce fertility. Your provider evaluates your situation and discusses family-planning options if conception is your goal.
