Abstract

Endometriosis is a common disease, not uncommonly debilitating with severe negative impact on all domains of life for women. The long-standing approach is that endometriosis is one of many gynecological benign conditions. Nevertheless, there is a growing body of evidence linking endometriosis and invasiveness. The aim of this commentary is to address the topic of the attitude toward endometriosis as a benign disease while summarizing the current literature regarding the debate that surrounds this topic.
