Abstract:
Endometriosis in adolescents presents unique diagnostic and management challenges compared to its manifestation in adult women. The symptoms can vary significantly among individuals, often resulting in a substantial delay in diagnosis, which subsequently impairs quality of life in this vulnerable age group and leads to worsening symptoms and considerable debilitation in adulthood. Recent diagnostic modalities and biomarkers, along with emerging treatment strategies, offer hope for a more evidence-based approach. However, much research is still needed to understand the causality and progression of the condition to aid in the development of targeted treatments. This narrative review aims to provide current insights and clinical considerations for endometriosis in adolescents and discuss unresolved questions that may encourage future research in the field.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...
Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
