• Briefly summarize the pathophysiology and systemic connections between endometriosis and inflammation.
• Describe the plan to evaluate a patient with this condition and rule out other potential diagnoses.
• Assuming a patient has endometrial disease with systemic inflammation and a chief complaint of pain, describe the potential plan of care using evidence-based treatment guidelines. Include considerations for chronic pain and depression.
• Explain the patient education you would provide to the patient.
