Relationship between delay of surgical diagnosis and severity of disease in patients with symptomatic deep infiltrating endometriosis
Abstract
We investigated relationships between delay of surgical diagnosis and severity of disease in 95 patients with symptomatic deep infiltrating endometriosis. The delay before surgical diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis was significantly longer for patients with advanced stage IV (revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine [ASRM] score >70) disease than for those with stage I, II, III, or IV (revised ASRM score <or=70) disease.
