Endometriosis is a chronic—often painful—illness that only affects women. New research shows potential for shortening the path to diagnosis and treatment. In the years prior to being diagnosed with endometriosis, women with the chronic illness have more contact than average with their GP, private gynecologist and the hospital service.
Researchers analyzed 129,696 Danish women's utilization of the health care sector, with particular focus on the 21,616 women who were diagnosed with endometriosis between 2000 and 2017.
The study is also interesting for health care professionals who interact with women of childbearing age and who are being passed around the health care sector, she points out: The researchers hope the study can help shed light on the serious consequences of delayed diagnosis—not only for the women affected, but for the health care sector as well, which could use its resources better.
The researchers are currently following up on the study at the Department of Public Health. The goal is to help health care professionals identify women with endometriosis-like symptoms in order to reduce the time from symptom onset to diagnosis.
