Endometriosis is diagnosed through a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging tests like ultrasound, and sometimes surgery called laparoscopy.
Diagnosing endometriosis involves several steps. Initially, a doctor will discuss symptoms and medical history. An ultrasound may be used to look for cysts related to endometriosis, but it cannot confirm the condition by itself.
Steps in Diagnosis:
While imaging tests can provide clues, laparoscopy is often necessary for a definitive diagnosis. This procedure allows the doctor to see the endometriosis tissue directly and sometimes take a sample for testing. It's important to work closely with a healthcare provider to determine the best approach for diagnosis and management.
