2nd Annual Endometriosis Care Conference: Innovations and Outcomes
About the Endometriosis Care Conference
Endometriosis affects 10% of women across the age span. The average interval between onset of symptoms and diagnosis is 7-12 years, which could mean years of suffering, medical appointments, innumerable tests and years of lost time, productivity, relationships and fertility. It need not be. Symptoms are often enigmatic. The standard of care is often ineffective. Endometriosis myths pervade.
