NOT a symptom of endometriosis?

Explanation:
Endometriosis typically presents with pelvic or lower abdominal pain that is often linked to the menstrual cycle, including dysmenorrhea and sometimes deep dyspareunia or infertility. It does not cause systemic fever or foul-smelling vaginal discharge, which point toward infectious processes such as PID or cervicitis. The “halo sign” is not a recognized gynecologic finding associated with endometriosis. In other words, the finding that does not fit endometriosis is the Positive Halo Sign.
