How to check for endometriosis

Everyone knows that there are many reasons for infertility. Among the many reasons, the most common one is endometriosis, which refers to the phenomenon that the uterus of female patients is ectopic for some reason. So when patients feel unwell, what kind of examinations should they go to the hospital for?

1. Clinical diagnosis: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, but the preoperative diagnosis rate is not high. Before the application of laparoscopy, the preoperative diagnosis rate of Ingersoll buckle was about 75% for experienced gynecologists, while it was only 20% for inexperienced ones. The reason for this is that the first is over-reliance on so-called typical symptoms and signs, such as infertility, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, fixed posterior position of the uterus, pelvic adhesions, adnexal masses, etc.

2. B-ultrasound examination: The sonogram of endometrial cysts is 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, that is, small and fine light bands can be seen in the fluid, distributed in parallel dotted lines. Sometimes there are partitions inside, dividing it into several cysts of different sizes, with inconsistent echoes between each cyst, often adhering to the uterus, and the boundaries between the two are unclear.

3. Laparoscopic diagnosis. The method of diagnosing endometriosis includes the distance between the laparoscope lens and the endometriosis lesion can change the magnification of the actual object. 10mm away from the lesion, magnification 3 times; 15mm away from the lesion, magnification 2 times; 50mm is close to the original shape, that is, no magnification.

The above is an introduction to several items that patients with endometriosis need to do when going to the hospital for examination.
