Your health, my commitment.
First, the first emphasis is gynecological examination, normal uterus is located in the middle of the pelvis, if endometriosis occurs, in the gynecological examination, you can find that the uterine volume is increased, often in the posterior position, limited movement, even in the pelvic floor sacral ligament, uterine rectal fossa, and cervical posterior wall, or uterine posterior wall, you can touch some painful nodules, this is a typical characteristic of endometriosis. If there are ovarian cysts, you can also touch them on both sides of the uterus through gynecological examination, and this cyst can often be adhered to and fixed around, with slight tenderness. Gynecological examination for endometriosis is very important. Sometimes ectopic endometrial lesions may not be large. If ultrasound or other examinations are done, they may not be found. However, if you carefully do gynecological examination, you can touch these painful nodules. It can help with diagnosis. The second is that it can be diagnosed through some auxiliary examinations. The most commonly used auxiliary examination is ultrasound examination. At present, one of the most common effective methods for diagnosing endometriosis is color Doppler ultrasound.
