Abstract

Endometriosis in adolescents needs unique considerations for treatment approaches, as it presents particular challenges in terms of diagnosis, variable presentation and symptoms, and choice of treatment [1]. Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecologic issue among adolescents, occurring in 50–80% of these and causing limitation in sports and activities, poor academic performance, and long duration of resting (Fig. 6.1). In about 10% of adolescents with severe dysmenorrhea symptoms, pelvic abnormalities such as endometriosis or uterine anomalies may be found and the incidence of endometriosis has been reported between 45% and 70% in adolescents with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) [2].
