Beginning as far back as ten years before even being diagnosed, women with endometriosis utilise the healthcare system more than women without this chronic illness.
Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Aug 25 2023 Research sheds new light on widespread delays in diagnosis.
"We can see that even 10 years before being diagnosed, women affected by endometriosis utilize the healthcare system slightly more, and we can see that the interaction increases in the years leading up to their diagnosis of the illness," says PhD student Anna Melgaard from the Department of Public Health at Aarhus University. She is the first author of the study, which has just been published in the scientific journal Human Reproduction.
