In this webinar, Dr. Victor Garcia addresses the clinical challenges faced in diagnosing endometriosis. He begins by highlighting the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis, noting that many patients experience significant delays before their condition is identified.
The session opens with a clear explanation of what is endometriosis: a condition in which tissue similar to the endometrium grows outside the uterine cavity. These ectopic lesions most often occur in the pelvis but can also be found in the abdominal cavity or even the thorax, complicating clinical detection.
Dr. Garcia discusses why diagnosis is often missed, including overlapping endometriosis symptoms with other gynecological and gastrointestinal disorders. Common presentations such as chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and irregular menstruation contribute to diagnostic challenges and affect quality of life.
The lecture then focuses on how to diagnose endometriosis effectively. Dr. Garcia emphasizes the value of combining patient history, symptom assessment, and advanced imaging tools. Among these, gynecological ultrasound is highlighted as a critical technique for identifying lesions and improving detection rates, though it requires expertise and systematic protocols for optimal accuracy.
By the end of the presentation, participants gain a deeper understanding of the barriers that contribute to delayed or missed diagnoses, as well as practical strategies for overcoming them. The webinar underscores the importance of raising clinical awareness, recognizing symptoms early, and applying structured diagnostic methods to improve outcomes for patients with endometriosis.
