A member asked:
Can endometriosis be given as a diagnosis without having a laparoscopy? if everything else has been eliminated.

Suspected: Perhaps one of the ob-gyns will also respond. Endometriosis is an anatomical pathological tissue diagnosis but can be suspected from clinical signs and symptoms and pelvic examinations. Proof is histologically.

No: It must be visualized. It can be suspected but for 100 percent diagnosis visualization or biopsy confirms.
