THE IMPACT OF LATE DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOMETRIOSIS ON INFERTILITY IN YOUNG WOMEN

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the growth of tissue  similar to the lining of the uterus outside the uterine cavity. It is widespread among  women of reproductive age, yet it remains one of the most frequently underdiagnosed 
pathologies. The primary symptom of the disease—severe and prolonged menstrual  pain—is often confused with common dysmenorrhea, resulting in a delay of several years  before an accurate diagnosis is made.
