Prevalence of endometriosis is commonly reported based on surgery findings and varies widely depending on study population and indication for surgery. Symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, and dyschezia can be associated with endometriosis and adenomyosis. Transvaginal ultrasound examination is proposed to be the first‐line diagnostic method, nevertheless there are no published ultrasound‐based studies reporting prevalence of endometriosis and adenomyosis in symptomatic women other than those scheduled for surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of endometriosis and adenomyosis as assessed by transvaginal ultrasound in women with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis and adenomyosis.
