Endometriosis | Unmasking the Silent Struggle
Endometriosis is greatly underdiagnosed in women, particularly because of its variable clinical manifestations that may mimic other conditions. It may be present in adolescents from the time of menarche and, rarely, can persist after menopause. Early detection and referral to a gynaecologist
reduces the time to diagnosis. A high-quality ultrasound can facilitate accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. Management is multidisciplinary and aimed at alleviating pain, increasing fertility and improving quality of life.
