Association between the ultrasound appearance of deep bowel endometriosis and the frequency of pain
In order to improve the diagnostic power of the ultrasound method, it is important to evaluate the association between the ultrasound appearance of the nodule of intestinal deep endometriosis and the frequency of pain, thus assessing the prevalence of moderate or severe clinical symptoms, in patients with newly diagnosed intestinal deep endometriosis, according to the ultrasound morphology of the posterior deep endometriosis nodule proposed in the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis Group (IDEA) Consesus.
