Dr S Srikanth

Abstract :

 

Introduction: Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue is found outside the uterus. Endometriosis is estimated to affect 10–15% of women of reproductive age.However, it is difficult to determine the prevalence because of the diversity of symptoms and their severity and because endometriosis may be sometimes asymptomatic.

Materials & Methods: The present study is a retrospective and prospective study done for a period of 2 years during January 2015 to December 2017.  Clinical and radiological data was collected for each case. Majority of the cases were presented with infertility problem.

Results: A total of  13 cases were diagnosed as Endometriosis during the two year study period. Among them 6 cases were diagnosed as scar endometriosis in young females presenting as acute cyclical pain abdomen.Other sites were ovary 4 cases and fallopian tube 3 cases. Women in the age group of 21–30 years constituted highest number of cases ( 08).

Conclusion:  Endometriosis predominantly affects the women of reproductive age group and causes primary infertility in majority of the patients. A laparoscopic finding  

 marks as a standard tool in diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis which would be reported by association between endometriosis stage with age of   women and laparoscopic findings.
