Recent guidancehas highlighted the imperative of earlier recognition in primary careusing symptom-based diagnosis supported by examination and timely referral for further diagnostic procedures. The focus should be onperson-centred care and individualised approaches. For primary care practitioners, the guidance highlights the need for comprehensiveassessment of cyclical or non-cyclic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, deep dyspareunia, bowel and bladder symptoms and subfertility.
