Endometriosis, or more particularly diagnosis of endometriosis is often a challenge in general practice.

When should you start investigating a young girl with painful periods? Is it worth investigating or should we just put them on the Pill? At what point should these young women be referred?

Consequently, the most recent NICE guidelines on the diagnosis and management of endometriosis, published in the BMJ will be of interest to any GP who manages young women.
