The paper asks whether endometriosis affects economic burden and conducts a PRISMA-guided selection of online articles, screening 122 papers down to 9 that were judged most relevant to the economic aspects of endometriosis. Across included discussions, the authors identify recurring and long-term nature of endometriosis—up to 40–45% recurrence—as an important driver, and describe both direct costs (recurring health expenses) and indirect costs (productivity losses, work absences, and excessive leave). A key limitation stated is that many records were excluded because they were not fully relevant, not specific to economic burden, were duplicates, lacked full text, or were older than 10 years, which restricts the breadth of evidence captured. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on whether and how endometriosis contributes to economic burden.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammation with a specific characteristic being the appearance of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Symptoms of endometriosis are usually non-specific and can be found to be similar to symptoms of other gynecological and even gastrointestinal disorders. The nature of the disease, enigmatic and needs more cost at every step, stimulate the economic burden in managing endometriosis. The important variable that has a significant role in the economic burden of endometriosis is the recurring nature of this condition, even up to 40-45%. I selected online articles using PRISMA and obtained 122 articles, 4 articles being deleted because of no full text, 8 articles being deleted because of duplication, 17 articles being deleted because of the age of articles more than 10 years, 80 articles being deleted because of not fully relevant with main topics, 4 articles being deleted because of the burden not specific in the economic aspect, and 9 articles are the most perfect choice related with the main topics. In conclusion, endometriosis is a chronic disease experienced by women mostly of productive age, which affects the quality of life, fertility, and even direct economic burdens in the form of recurring and long-term health expenses as well as indirect economic burdens in the form of productivity, many absences from work, and excessive leave. Often due to the treatment process. Based on several journals with similar discussions show significant results in the influence of endometriosis on economic burden. .

The nature of the disease, enigmatic and needs more cost at every step, stimulate the economic burden in managing endometriosis. The important variable that has a significant role in the economic burden of endometriosis is the recurring nature of this condition, even up to 40-45%.
