Endometriosis is a gynecological condition recognized by the existence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It is predominantly present in females of reproductive age group and is one of the main causes of infertility. Even with a predictable prevalence of 11% in females and considerable historical explanations adopted from the seventeenth century, the diagnosis of endometriosis still remains doubtful. The conventional concepts on histological basis of endometriosis are explained by a number of theories. Medical signs of endometriosis contain prolonged pelvic ache, dyspareunia, repeated menstrual discomfort and chronic pelvic pain which can severely affect the excellence of life and health of the patient. In this review we will discuss the prevalent theories for the diagnosis of endometriosis and suggestions to identify the condition well in time for better control and management

Endometriosis is predominantly a disease of women of reproductive age group. Endometriosis is not uncommon in adolescents. Presentation tends to focus on pain, especially intractable dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain. In around 60% of patients with endometriosis symptoms start in adolscence. Pain unresponsive to treatment is the usual indication for a Laproscopy. The appearance of endometriotic lesions is different from that of adults. Medical and surgical options for treatment are available. Endometriosis may be progressive and adverse effects may go beyond pain and cause infertility.

Background: Chronic pelvic pain is a common problem in reproductive age group women. Diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain needs multidisciplinary approach. Diagnostic laparoscopy is one of the investigations which can help in reaching the diagnosis. Objective: To know the etiology in chronic pelvic pain. Methods: This was a descriptive study done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Kathmandu medical college teaching hospital from January 2010 to June 2012 (30 months). All the cases of laparoscopic surgery done for chronic pelvic pain were noted and details of these cases were analyzed regarding age, parity and laparoscopic findings. Results: Total 48 cases of Chronic Pelvic Pain underwent diagnostic laparoscopy during the study period. Mean age of cases were 33 years, ranging from 20-46yrs. Almost half of the cases 43.75% were of parity two. Laparoscopic finding was negative in 29.17% and pelvic pathology was present in 70.83% of the cases. Out of the pelvic pathology endometriosis was present in 55.88% followed by pelvic adhesions, pelvic congestion and pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic ectopic in 20.58%, 14.70%, 5.88%, 2.94% respectively. Conclusion: Diagnostic laparoscopy is a useful modality in the diagnosis of etiology and management of Chronic pelvic pain. In our study, Pelvic endometriosis was the most common pelvic pathology in cases of Chronic pelvic pain.

Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Endometriosis affects 10-15% of all women in reproductive age group and 70% of the women with chronic pelvic pain. The risk of malignant transformation in an endometrioma has been reported to be low, though there is an increased risk for certain gynecological as well as non-gynecological carcinomas with endometriosis. We present a case diagnosed as having endometrioma transforming into a malignant tumor in a young female. We intend to emphasize that all the clinicians should make their patients aware of the malignant potential of endometriosis and a strict follow up of all cases being treated conservatively should be a must.

Abstract Background Endometriosis (EM) is an estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterus. It is commonly seen in the reproductive age group and is a leading cause of infertility. Patients present with chronic pelvic pain, menstrual abnormalities, dyspareunia, or mass per abdomen. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice with postoperative medications and progesterone agents. Aims and Objectives This study aims at determining the distribution of EM in terms of age, parity, symptoms, site, morphological features. We also analyzed the management of EM in these cases. Methodology This is a retrospective study done in a tertiary care hospital in Mangalore, India. The case records of 77 histopathologically confirmed cases of EM during the 7 years between June 2012 and May 2019 were studied. Demographic profiles, parity, presenting complaints, site of the lesion, morphological features, treatment given, follow-up, and recurrence were noted and analyzed. Results Of the 77 patients with EM, the most common age group was the fourth decade (40%). The majority (31, 40.25%) of the patients in this study were nulliparous. Chronic pelvic pain was the most common symptom. The most frequent site was ovary. Conclusion The most frequent site of EM is ovary, leading to infertility. With the advent of laparoscopy, early diagnosis and excision have been feasible. The histopathological examination should be done for confirmation. Awareness of this disease among health care professionals is necessary whenever a woman in reproductive age presents with chronic pelvic pain and infertility.
