Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease and its fundamental cause is still unknown. Endometriosis-associated pain syndrome is a common problem; it is underdiagnosed and patients suffering from the syndrome are rarely seen in specialist pain clinics. The correlation between the extent of the disease and pain is weak. Endometriosis-associated pain syndrome may be cyclical or persistent and the pain may radiate to other pelvic organs. Optimum treatment is timely intervention using a multidisciplinary approach.
子宫内膜异位症是一种神秘的疾病，其根本病因仍然不明。子宫内膜异位症相关疼痛综合征是一个常见问题；它诊断不足，患有该综合征的患者很少在专科疼痛诊所就诊。疾病程度与疼痛之间的相关性较弱。子宫内膜异位症相关疼痛综合征可能是周期性的或持续性的，疼痛可能会放射至其他盆腔器官。最佳治疗方法是采用多学科方法进行及时干预。
