‘Algological bonds of endometriosis’. Features of clinical management of patients with typical and atypical symptoms of endometriosis

Abstract

Endometriosis remains one of the most mysterious and controversial diseases in modern gynecology. Contemporary statistical data demonstrate the extreme relevance of actively implementing effective therapeutic approaches into the clinician’s everyday practice. However, a significant challenge associated with endometriosis is the pain syndrome. The question of so-called atypical algological manifestations of endometriosis, which previously seemed unrelated to the pathogenesis of the primary disease, is increasingly raised. In this regard, the aim of this article was to propose a three-level pathogenetic concept capable of linking the primary manifestation of endometriosis (pelvic pain) with other often distant algological patterns, as well as to create an algorithm for managing these patients based on their pathogenetic staging.
