💨 Abstract

Endometriosis, affecting 1 in 10 women globally, causes tissue similar to the uterus lining to grow outside the uterus, leading to pelvic pain and potential fertility issues. Symptoms include lower belly pain during menstruation, pain during/after sex, and pain when urinating or defecating. Diagnosis can be delayed due to misinterpretation of symptoms and racial bias in healthcare.
