| Video Discription | In this episode, Dr. Mark Hoffman invites Dr. Ted Lee, an OBGYN specializing in MIGS and professor of OBGYN at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, about the ambulatory workup of endometriosis patients. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn free AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/bT7a9b --- SHOW NOTES The episode begins with the physicians discussing the difficulties of diagnosing endometriosis, including: the stigma of pelvic pain/not believing women’s pain, recognition that pelvic pain is not normal, the discomfort of physicians asking the appropriate questions for pelvic pain, and the hesitancy towards surgery by physicians and patients all play a role. Many patients have been having pain for years that may have been covered up by OCP use or misdiagnosed as IBS or interstitial cystitis. Ted emphasizes the importance of a thorough history in diagnosing endometriosis. Essential information includes age of onset of symptoms, gravidity and parity, prior C-section (abdominal wall endometriosis) and the “3 D’s” of dyspareunia, dyschezia, and most importantly dysmenorrhea. A quality physical exam can also elucidate endometriosis. Ted starts by palpating the anterior vaginal wall, then the levator ani muscles and cervix, and finally the rectovaginal exam. Palpation of the uterosacral ligament and posterior cul-de-sac in endometriosis patients causes a visceral reaction, and advanced disease may also have nodules felt. The majority of patients don’t require additional imaging since ultrasound is insensitive for stage 1 and 2 endometriosis. Indications for MRI include endometrioma, nodularities felt on exam, and abdominal wall endometriosis. When it comes to surgery, both doctors emphasize the importance of having other surgeons on your team, including colorectal surgery, general surgery, and urology. Ted dives into some surgical tips and techniques from his years of experience. Finally, the physicians end by discussing the future of endometriosis diagnosis. A Japanese study has recently found fusobacterium in the uterine microbiome in endometriosis patients more often than those without. Also, a French study has taken saliva samples and found signature microRNAs for endometriosis. It will be interesting to see how studies like these change the future of endometriosis diagnosis and if it will bring new challenges, such as overtreatment and overdiagnosis. --- RESOURCES Muraoka, A., Suzuki, M., Hamaguchi, T., Watanabe, S., Iijima, K., Murofushi, Y., Shinjo, K., Osuka, S., Hariyama, Y., Ito, M., Ohno, K., Kiyono, T., Kyo, S., Iwase, A., Kikkawa, F., Kajiyama, H., & Kondo, Y.
