Thank you for your question.

We do not currently have a protocol for endometriosis, however some practices use a checklist, which may include looking for endometriosis markers on a transvaginal examination, (if clinically indicated) which includes:
Adenomyosis, endometriomas, question mark sign (fixed uterine anteversion and/or retroflexion), site specific tenderness, ovarian mobility, fixed/kissing ovaries(fixed together), fallopian tube distortion, the sliding sign(rectum glides freely over cervix), posterior cul-de-sac obliteration and deep infiltrating endometriosis nodules in anterior and posterior compartments.
The ASA is currently investigating hands-on training options.
