Depending on the individual situation, evaluation may include:
Medical & Menstrual History
The doctor reviews menstrual patterns, pain symptoms, previous treatments, fertility history and other relevant medical conditions.
Pelvic Examination

Ultrasound Examination
Pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound can help identify ovarian endometriomas and certain forms of deep endometriosis.
MRI
An MRI may be recommended in selected cases when more detailed imaging is needed to assess the extent or location of suspected endometriosis.
Laparoscopy
In selected situations, laparoscopy may be considered for diagnosis and treatment, particularly when symptoms persist or when surgical treatment is being planned.
Endometriosis Treatment Options

Depending on the individual situation, treatment may include:
- Pain-relieving medicines

Medical Treatment for Endometriosis
Hormonal medicines may be used to reduce menstrual activity and help control endometriosis-related pain.
Depending on the individual's circumstances, the doctor may discuss different hormonal treatment options. Pain-relieving medicines may also be recommended for symptom management.
Treatment choice depends on symptoms, medical history, side effects, future pregnancy plans and individual preferences.
Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis
For selected patients, laparoscopic surgery may be considered to remove or treat endometriosis lesions, adhesions or certain ovarian cysts.
Surgery may be considered when:
- Pain remains significant despite medical treatment
- Endometriosis is extensive
- An endometrioma or other pelvic abnormality is present
- Fertility-related factors require surgical assessment
- Symptoms or findings indicate that surgery may be beneficial
The potential benefits and risks of surgery should be discussed before treatment.

Endometriosis may affect fertility in some women, although many women with endometriosis are able to become pregnant.
If pregnancy is being planned, treatment decisions may take into account:
- Age
- Ovarian reserve
- Severity and location of endometriosis
- Previous fertility history
- Previous treatments or surgeries
- Duration of trying to conceive
