Abstract: The aim of this research is to explore the value of transabdominal colour Doppler ultrasonography in the uterine artery blood flow characteristics, uterine characteristics and diagnostic value of endometriosis. There were 100 cases of endometriosis in our hospital who were selected as the case group, and 100 healthy women in the same period as the control group. The results showed that the uterine volume and endometrial thickness of the case group were greater than those of the control group (P<0.05). After cervix was swayed, EDV of the case group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), while RI was greater than that of the control group (P<0.05). From the ROC curve, it can be seen that the AUC value exceeds 0.65. EDV, RI, uterine volume and endometrial thickness are all high in sensitivity and specificity. The missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate were also within a controllable range. In a word, the uterine artery blood flow parameters and uterine morphological characteristics have certain clinical reference value for the diagnosis of endometriosis.
