The paper analyzes, from a biopsychosocial perspective, how women with endometriosis and women without it represent the condition socially, focusing on the structure of their social representations. It used an exploratory online survey and questionnaire in a mixed-methods approach at the level of data collection, finding that endometriosis-related representations include controversies that are organized differently and often contradictorily in peripheral elements. The authors frame these findings as a basis to help avoid an “epistemological purgatory” arising from mismatch between women’s subjective experiences and expert knowledge. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it examines women’s social representations and perceived discrepancies between lived experience and expert understanding.
