Endometrial Biopsy as Diagnostic Method for Endometriosis and Endometrioma
- Conditions
- Women in the Reproductive Age GroupUndergoing Laparoscopy for Pelvic Pain and/or InfertilityNot Currently Receiving Hormonal Treatment for at Least 3 Months Prior to Laparoscopy.
- Registration Number

- Lead Sponsor
- Selcuk University
- Brief Summary
Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of examining endometrial biopsy specimens for nerve fibers as a diagnostic test for endometriosis and endometrioma in a double-blind comparison with diagnostic laparoscopy.
