The paper reviews the objective of understanding how endometriosis affects women’s physical and mental health, defining the condition as endometrial glands and stroma present outside their normal location. It describes heterogeneous clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic cases to highly disabling disease, noting that it affects about 15% of women in the reproductive years and that among affected women, chronic pelvic pain is common and can lead to lost workdays and broader career and financial harms. The review also emphasizes psychological impacts reported by patients, including frustration and emotions such as anger, anguish, anxiety, and fear, and highlights that many women were previously unfamiliar with the disease before diagnosis. The paper does not explicitly discuss limitations; it frames endometriosis as a prevalent yet insufficiently known condition that contributes to delays in diagnosis and patient complaints about lack of information. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on its impacts on women’s physical and mental health, including chronic pelvic pain, psychosocial effects, and diagnostic delay.
