The study assessed the extent of awareness and knowledge about endometriosis among Libyan women using a one-year cross-sectional design (2021–2022) with questionnaires and interviews. Participants were predominantly aged 16–25 years and had university education, and responses to knowledge questions most often were “I don’t know” and “No,” indicating limited information about endometriosis. Although a sizable proportion reported suffering from endometriosis (75.5%), many participants still lacked knowledge (21.2% “I don’t know”), and the paper found no statistically significant correlation between education level and endometriosis knowledge (p > 0.05). This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it examines Libyan women’s awareness and knowledge of the condition.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a long-lasting state in which endometrial-like tissue is found outside the uterus often on the reproductive organs, bowel, and bladder.

Percent of education the answer I don`t know 19.4 %, and by no 26.1 %. The Correlations between Knowledge and Education Levels, the p-value > 0.05 means there is no relationship between education level and knowledge of endometriosis. Conclusion: that the educational level has nothing to do with the extent of awareness among women about endometriosis, and therefore we find that the percentage of those suffering from endometriosis is very high, and that women need a lot of awareness and knowledge about the endometriosis disease.
