It is considered first-line diagnostic examination. The experience and expertise of the endometriosis specialist are of utmost importance in order to reach the correct diagnosis and staging of the disease. Ultrasound is a simple and painless test, performed in the doctor’s office.
With modern transvaginal ultrasound, we can diagnose ovarian endometriosis (size and number of cysts) with accuracy. It is also possible to simultaneously diagnose foci of deep endometriosis, provided that the gynecologist has the appropriate expertise. It is extremely important to have a clear picture of the exact extent and locations of endometriosis lesions by ultrasound, both to counsel the patient, as well as to have a structured plan before potential surgery, in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises during the operation.
It is, however, important to acknowledge that a negative ultrasound does not definitively rule out a diagnosis of endometriosis in all cases.
