Traditional gynecologic opinion holds that endometriosis is rare in teenagers. However, several reports of this disease in teenagers have appeared over the past four decades, and in one study of a series of endometriosis patients, teenagers accounted for 8.5% of them. With these facts in mind, 43 consecutive laparoscopies were prospectively analyzed in symptomatic teenagers. A 65% incidence of endometriosis was found. The symptoms and physical findings are analyzed. The liberal use of diagnostic laparoscopy in selected symptomatic adolescents is recommended for the early diagnosis and aggressive preventive treatment of this common and potentially crippling illness.
传统的妇科观点认为子宫内膜异位症在青少年中很少见。然而，在过去的四十年里出现了几篇关于青少年患这种疾病的报道，并且在一项对一系列子宫内膜异位症患者的研究中，青少年占了其中的8.5%。考虑到这些事实，对43例有症状的青少年进行了前瞻性连续腹腔镜检查分析。发现子宫内膜异位症的发病率为65%。对症状和体格检查结果进行了分析。对于这种常见且可能致残的疾病，建议对选定的有症状青少年广泛使用诊断性腹腔镜检查，以便早期诊断和积极进行预防性治疗。
