On average, women wait seven years between the onset of endometriosis symptoms and disease diagnosis—and some never receive a formal diagnosis. The chronic pain women experience plus numerous treatment failures can lead to significant physical, mental, interpersonal, and financial burdens. Join us for a roadmap to a better understanding of the diverse presentations of endometriosis and find out how you can improve your use of symptom questionnaires and other tools. What strategies can you use to successfully incorporate shared decision-making and therapy selection into your medical practice?
