Endometriosis, a chronic estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder, is defined by endometrial tissue outside the uterus and its prevalence varies significantly with symptoms, from 1-7% in asymptomatic women to 50% in those with infertility and pelvic pain.

Abstract

La endometriosis es un desorden ginecologico cronico comun, estrogeno dependiente, que afecta desde un 10% a 30% de la poblacion femenina en edad reproductiva, asociandose a infertilidad y dolor pelvico cronico (1,2,3,4). Se define como la presencia de glandulas endometriales y estroma fuera de la cavidad uterina y fue descrita por primera vez por Von Rokitansky en 1860 (5). La prevalencia de la endometriosis difiere de acuerdo a la sintomatologia. En aquellas pacientes asintomaticas que se realizan una esterilizacion tubaria, se ha encontrado una prevalencia de 1 a un 7% (6, 7,8, 9). Por otra parte, en aquellas mujeres con infertilidad asociada a dolor pelviano, esta prevalencia aumenta al 50% (10,11).
