This paper/chapter examines the diagnosis- and treatment-related cost burden of endometriosis, focusing on how prevalence, quality-of-life impact, and patterns of repeated tests and interventions before an appropriate diagnosis contribute to substantial healthcare resource utilization—especially in resource-constrained settings. It reviews different cost drivers and “hidden factors” that raise the global economic burden and discusses prior evidence comparing endometriosis costs to other chronic diseases. The chapter also highlights limitations in cost quantification across existing studies, which makes it difficult to capture the full spectrum of costs and expenditures. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it summarizes how endometriosis-related diagnostic and treatment pathways drive healthcare costs and resource use.
