Endometriosis is a mostly chronic condition that occurs in episodes in women of reproductive age. It is often accompanied by pain and infertility, frequently requires surgical interventions, and significantly impairs the quality of life of affected women. This book presents, for the first time, a thoroughly researched and comprehensive account of the development and manifestation, course and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, and treatment of this disease. In addition to the scientific theoretical background, the authors, who have been dealing with endometriosis in their daily practice for years, also share their own experiences. Numerous illustrations and graphics clarify the clinical picture. The book is equally suitable for gynecologists and general practitioners in clinics and practices, doctors in training, as well as medical students and affected women.
