How to determine if you have endometriosis?

Patient's question:

My child born via C-section is now 34 days old. I want to know if I might have endometrial adenomyosis. Can I get a thorough examination now, or should I wait until my period comes to get a thorough examination? Does a C-section lead to endometrial adenomyosis? What kind of help do you need: Can I get a thorough examination now?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with endometriosis often have a history of induced abortion or cesarean section. However, not all cesarean sections lead to endometriosis, and the incidence of this condition is still very low.
Recommendation: The situation you mentioned cannot be detected through a thorough examination at this time. Even if endometriosis may develop after a cesarean section, the symptoms are not obvious in the initial period after menstruation begins, and ultrasound also cannot clearly reveal it. At least 6-12 months are required for a thorough examination. If you do not experience a gradual increase in menstrual volume after giving birth and no persistent relief from menstrual pain, there is no issue. For severe gynecological conditions, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
