1 out of 10 women have endometriosis<\/a>, a condition that can significantly impact a person\u2019s quality of life. As with many conditions, the earlier the diagnosis, the better the treatment outcomes. Unfortunately, laparoscopy, an invasive procedure, is currently the only definitive way to diagnose endometriosis.<\/p>\n

If you are facing a diagnostic laparoscopy due to your endometriosis-related symptoms, you may be eligible to participate in the EndoCheck clinical trial.<\/p>\n

What Is Endometriosis?<\/h2>\n

Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, grows outside the uterus. Normally, the endometrium remains within the uterus and simply thickens throughout the month before being shed during menstruation. With endometriosis, this tissue grows in the pelvic cavity, on the surface of the uterus, and other organs, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissues lining the pelvis.<\/p>\n

While the endometrium is shed during menstruation and exits via the vaginal opening, the tissue outside of the uterus has no way to leave the body. Over time, this can cause inflammation, scarring, and painful adhesions.<\/p><\/div>

The staging system used to classify endometriosis is the <\/b>Revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM)<\/b><\/a>, which categorizes endometriosis into four stages. <\/b><\/p>\n
