The 10 “Cardinal Sins” in the Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Endometriosis: a Bayesian Approach
Evidence-based data for endometriosis management are limited. Experiments are excluded without adequate animal models. Data are limited to symptomatic women and occasional observations. Hormonal medical therapy cannot be blinded if recognis…
