Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Treatment of Genital Endometriosis

Abstract

Endometriosis is a slowly progres sive, partly studied disease. Its genetic background is partly clarified but its aetiology still remains totally unclear. According to Philipp and Huber⁽¹⁾ it is a disease where endometrial epithelium and stroma are found at a location to which it does not belong. With more advanced pelviscopic procedures en- dometriosis is detected more frequently and any relation to sterility can easily be traced⁽²⁾.
