Infertility workup: identifying endometriosis

Résumé

Endometriosis was classically diagnosed during diagnostic laparoscopies, which used to be routinely performed up until a decade ago or so. This practice fitted with the long-held belief that surgery was the gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis. Today, the abandon of routine diagnostic laparoscopies—in favor of assisted reproductive technology-first therapeutic approaches—has created a void for diagnosing endometriosis. Modern-day imaging techniques—ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging—when used with a systematic approach have offered a reliable replacement option for diagnosing endometriosis. In infertility, endometriosis should be identified or excluded on the basis of past history or confirmation or exclusion suspicion on the basis of history and/or physical examination.
