A member asked:
What is endometriosis? what are the symptoms, how do you know you have it and can it be detected without a doctors visit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Endometriosis is when uterine lining tissue grows outside the uterus. Typical symptoms are infertility, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding and cramping during menses. The history alone is accurate 89% of the time in one report. Definitive diagnosis usually requires a laparoscopic surgery.
