This descriptive, exploratory correlational study assessed knowledge about endometriosis and multidomain wellbeing (physical, psychological, social, and spiritual) among 85 women aged 21–49 who were diagnosed with endometriosis and receiving treatment at infertility centers in Udupi taluk, Karnataka, between January and April 2019. Using investigator-developed questionnaires with reported reliabilities, the authors found that 58.8% of participants had good knowledge, while 95.3% had average wellbeing, and there was no statistically significant relationship between knowledge scores and wellbeing scores (p>0.05). The paper’s limitations include its single-region, treatment-center sample and the use of tools developed by the investigators rather than established external measures. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it examines knowledge and wellbeing among women diagnosed with endometriosis.
