It proposes an early-screening paradigm for young women with endometriosis or infertility and calls for collaboration between gynecology and vascular medicine.\nThis version serves as a timestamped draft establishing authorship for future clinical development and peer review.\nFiles\nZerndt_K_VenousCompression_Endometriosis_V1_2025.pdf\nFiles\n(5.2 kB)\n| Name | Size | Download all |\n|---|---|---|\n|\nmd5:10f70f4451dbe1e8a1abf9d7d23cceb9\n|\n5.2 kB | Preview Download |\nAdditional details\nIdentifiers\n- DOI\n- 10.1234/pending\nDates\n- Created\n-\n2025-11-04Original creation and authorship date of the manuscript documenting the hypothesis linking venous compression syndromes and extrapelvic endometriosis spread.\nReferences\n- Zerndt, K.
