Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis affects approximately one in ten women and is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, often resulting in severe pain and potential infertility. Misdiagnosis or delays in diagnosis can extend up to ten years, as the symptoms can overlap with other conditions. Severe, debilitating pain during menstruation is not normal and should prompt individuals to seek medical evaluation to rule out endometriosis or other underlying issues. Identifying the presence of this condition can lead to targeted treatment strategies that address not just hormonal imbalances but also the immune dysfunction associated with endometriosis.
