Abstract

Endometriosis (EM) is defined as extrauterine
functional endometrial tissue, commonly found in
the pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, or rectovaginal septum.
This is a chronic condition that affects 6-15%
women of reproductive age and 6% of postmenopausal
women (1). The most common symptoms are
dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia (1), although 20-25%
patients are asymptomatic (1-3). Infertility affects 30-
50% of patients (2).
