Part of the World Clinics: Obstetrics & Gynecology series, this book discusses progress in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. Beginning with an introduction to the pathogenesis of the disease, the following chapters are each dedicated to a different condition that may manifest itself in tandem with, or as a result of endometriosis, including uterine fibroids, cysts, adenomyosis, ovarian cancer and subfertility. The effects of endometriosis on the urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract and the thoracic organs, are also discussed.
