Overview
Diagnostic laparoscopy is the gold standard to assess the severity and extent of the disease. Transvaginal ultrasound is done in patients with a suspicion of endometriosis, it is helpful in differentiation of endometriomas from other cystic abnormalities of the pelvic structures.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Abdominal and Transvaginal ultrasound
- Abdominal ultrasound helps in differentiating endometriomas from other cystic abnormalities. The endometrial lesions have increased vascularity and will demonstrate increased Doppler flow.[1][2][3][4]
- Transvaginal ultrasound is useful in the detection of deeply seated endometriosis and rectosigmoid endometriosis. It is more sensitive compared to abdominal ultrasound.[5]
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
- It is the gold standard for the diagnosis of endometriosis.[6]
- It is useful for the assessment of the extent of the disease.
- A scoring system is developed based on the extent of the disease, to calculate the Endometriosis Fertility Index. It correlates the disease severity to having a successful conception.
