Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide.
What is endometriosis?
A chronic condition in which tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows outside the uterus, in areas such as the pelvis, the abdomen or even the chest.
What are the main symptoms?
Some of the most common symptoms are:
- Severe pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea).
- Chronic pelvic pain outside the menstrual cycle.
- Heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Digestive or urinary problems.
- Difficulty getting pregnant in some cases.
Can it be diagnosed by ultrasound?
Yes. A specialized ultrasound technique called “mapping” helps detect it. It is performed transvaginally, takes 30 to 45 minutes and requires prior preparation, which we will send you when you book.
What is endometriosis mapping?
An advanced imaging technique that uses high-resolution ultrasound, usually transvaginal and abdominal, to examine the pelvis and nearby organs (bladder, bowel, uterine ligaments, etc.) in detail for endometriosis implants and adhesions.
Its main goals are:
- To diagnose the condition.
- To determine the extent and location of lesions (superficial or deep endometriosis).
- To guide planning for surgery or medical treatment.
Is ultrasound always enough?
Not always. In some cases an MRI is needed for more information or to complement the ultrasound.
