Endometriosis affects 176 million women worldwide. Endometriosis usually causes symptoms during reproductive years (~12-60 years old. Many women and girls are often undiagnosed. Endometriosis affects women equally across all racial/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Staging of endometriosis
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s current classification of endometriosis in stages 1 to 4 is the most widely used and accepted staging system. The classification system uses point scores depending on location, extent, and depth of endometriosis implants; presence and severity of adhesions; and presence and size of ovarian endometriomas. However, the staging of endometriosis does not correlate with the presence of or severity of symptoms.
