Endometriosis stages are determined by the location, amount, depth, and size of the endometrial tissue growths. Doctors use imaging and sometimes surgery to decide the stage.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it. The stages of endometriosis are determined by how much tissue there is, where it is located, and how deeply it grows into organs.
Doctors use imaging tests like MRI, as mentioned in the ENDO_STAGE study, to help see where the tissue is and how much there is. Sometimes, doctors need to do surgery to look inside the body to determine the stage. This helps them decide the best treatment.
