The tangled web of reasons for the delay in diagnosis of endometriosis in women with chronic pelvic pain: will the suffering end?
Abstract
Understanding the woman's experience with chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis is critical to decreasing her suffering. Further investigation must continue to determine the relation between endometriosis and pain, despite empirical treatment with GnRH agonists becoming routine in the United States.
