Endometriosis often goes undiagnosed for years. Here's what you need to know

Endometriosis, a condition where tissue grows outside the uterus causing chronic pain, often takes years to diagnose despite affecting millions of women. Many patients struggle for years with debilitating symptoms before receiving proper medical attention. New diagnostic advances, including improved ultrasound techniques, are helping identify the disease earlier and provide relief. Early recognition of symptoms such as severe menstrual pain, pelvic discomfort, and fertility issues is crucial for timely intervention and treatment.
