Underdiagnosis of Endometriosis and Delays to Surgical Intervention: A Review of Current Challenges and Clinical Implications

This conference review examines challenges that contribute to underdiagnosis of endometriosis and delays to surgical intervention, focusing on current barriers and their clinical implications. It synthesizes the reported problems in pathways to diagnosis and subsequent surgical care rather than presenting new original patient data. The paper’s main limitation is that it is a review/conference format, with no systematic method or primary dataset described in the provided text, limiting how precisely the breadth of evidence is quantified. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it addresses underdiagnosis and delays leading to surgical intervention for endometriosis.
