To screen for patients at high risk for having endometriosis, Dr. Yeung asks them several important questions, such as "Have you missed school or work due to pelvic pain or painful periods?" When a patient is asked these questions, "if she has any symptoms, her face lights up as she say ‘yes,’ " said Dr. Yeung. "These symptoms are not normal."

Dr. Yeung said he had no relevant disclosures.
