Krina T. Zondervan, Christian M. Becker, Stacey A. Missmer
Abstract
About 10% of reproductive-age women have endometriosis. Symptoms can include severe pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, infertility, and fatigue. The pathogenesis is unclear. Hormonal therapy controls symptoms in some women; others require surgery, which may not be effective.
