This master’s thesis by Nobuo Nishimata investigates the correlates of diagnostic delays in Japanese women with endometriosis using a cross-sectional survey design. The study employed logistic regression and predictive modeling to analyze factors such as stigma, healthcare behavior, and quality of life alongside clinical indicators like pelvic pain etiology. Key findings identified specific demographic and psychosocial variables associated with prolonged time from symptom onset to formal diagnosis, highlighting the role of societal stigma and self-management practices in delaying medical consultation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically examining the sociological and behavioral drivers behind delayed diagnosis among Japanese patients.
