The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Not that you can diagnose endometriosis on ultrasound, but if you have an endometrioma or a chocolate cyst, which takes you to approximately a stage three out of four endometriosis, you can see it in two seconds on ultrasound. So if you do an ultrasound and you see an endometrioma, I don't care how small it is, don't ignore it.
