What tests should be done for endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that troubles many female friends. The occurrence of the disease will have a certain impact on women's fertility, so early detection and treatment can reduce the occurrence of harm. Experts say that in order to detect it early, a clear diagnosis must be made. So what tests should be done when diagnosing endometriosis? The following is a detailed introduction for you.

1. Laparoscopic examination: Laparoscopic examination is the main method for diagnosing endometriosis. The so-called laparoscopic examination means that the pelvic cavity can be directly viewed through a laparoscope, and the lesion, the scope and severity of the lesion can be directly seen. The lesion can also be staged according to the examination findings, which is convenient for deciding the treatment plan. Laparoscopic examination is currently the most reliable method for diagnosing endometriosis.

2. B-ultrasound examination. Currently, B-ultrasound is an effective method for assisting the diagnosis of endometriosis. The sonogram of endometrioid cysts shows granular and fine echoes. If the cyst fluid is viscous and there are endometrial fragments floating inside, it is easy to be similar to the echo characteristics of hair in the fat of teratoma. Sometimes there are internal partitions, which divide it into several cysts of different sizes. The echoes of each cyst are inconsistent. It is often adhered to the uterus, and the boundaries between the two are unclear. It helps patients understand ovarian endometriosis and its size, and can also promptly detect masses that cannot be palpated during pelvic examination.

3. Biopsy: For patients with endometriosis in the cervix, vagina, abdominal wall scars, etc., biopsy is performed by taking live tissue from the local lesions for pathological examination.

4. X-ray examination: Pelvic inflation, pelvic inflation, hysterosalpingography and hysterosalpingography can be performed alone. Most patients with endometriosis have adhesions of the internal reproductive organs and adhesions with the intestinal flexure. Ectopic endometrium is most likely to be implanted in the rectouterine pouch, so adhesions of the internal reproductive organs are likely to occur in the rectouterine pouch, making it shallower, especially in the lateral view of pelvic inflation. The fallopian tube and ovary can form adhesion masses, which are more clearly shown in the inflation film or inflation.

5. Laparotomy is usually performed when an accurate diagnosis cannot be made after many examinations.

The above are the methods for checking endometriosis. I believe everyone is clear about them. Gynecologists say that in order to make the diagnosis of endometriosis more accurate, you must go to a professional and regular gynecological hospital when doing the above examinations to avoid misdiagnosis and miss the best treatment time.
