"This disease is very unknown even for health personnel and it takes a long time to get a diagnosis, sometimes women have to go into the operating room to have this diagnosis," explains the researcher.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects around 15-20% of the female population.
That means, only in the Region of Murcia, around 35,000 women.
The cause of this disorder is unknown and is characterized by the presence of functionally active endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity.
