This review synthesizes contemporary data on endometriosis, finding it affects 10% of reproductive-age women, has long diagnostic delays, causes infertility in 30-40%, and has significant impacts on quality of life and the economy.

This paper is a literature review with statistical synthesis of contemporary evidence on endometriosis, covering etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, and current treatment approaches by integrating data from Global Burden of Disease studies, meta-analyses, and major clinical trials. It reports that endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, with an average diagnostic delay of 6.6–9.7 years, and infertility in roughly 30–40% of patients, while summarizing comparative efficacy and limitations of hormonal therapies, surgery, and assisted reproductive technologies. The paper’s main caveat is that it is a review and statistical synthesis rather than new original primary data, so conclusions depend on the quality and comparability of the included studies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on endometriosis etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, and the state of current treatment.
