In many cases it coexists with pelvic floor muscle spasm, interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome and often all four are called “evil quadruplets.” Endometriosis can be diagnosed only surgically, and pathology confirmed tissue biopsy is by far the most accurate way of diagnosis. Unfortunately, all medical treatments of endometriosis are quite inadequate because they all rely on causing a hypoestrogenic state that only provides temporary relief of pain, and soon after medication is discontinued, symptoms return. Development of drugs addressing the cause of the disease is currently not possible because the cause of the disease is known. Multiple existing theories fail to explain all the cases, leading to the possibility that different etiologies may lead to a presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the peritoneal cavity and outside. Surgical resection of endometriosis in skilled hands is effective but patients need to be warned that disease will most likely return within a few years of initial surgery. Deep infiltrating endometriosis requires a very knowledgeable surgeon and often specialized center for treatment. Additional procedures such as presacral neurectomy, although controversial and potentially risky, may alleviate dysmenorrhea symptoms in some patients. Meticulous removal of ovarian endometriomas is a must in all infertility patients and most pelvic pain patients as simple drainage will result in almost immediate return of endometrioma. - Type - Chapter - Information - Management of Chronic Pelvic PainA Practical Manual, pp. 85 - 97Publisher: Cambridge University PressPrint publication year: 2021 Carter, JE.
