Abstract
ABSTRACTIntroduction: Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a challenging problem of both diagnosis and management in adolescent gynecology.Areas covered: This special report summarizes the current practices in the evaluation and management of endometriosis in adolescent patients.Expert commentary: We recommend prompt recognition and treatment of endometriosis whenever possible. Management should begin with empiric treatment with NSAIDS and hormonal therapy if complaints of pain interfering with daily activities are elicited. If a patient fails medical therapy after three to six months, surgical intervention is warranted by a clinician experienced in operating in this age range and familiar with the appearance of endometriosis in this age range.
