The search for new molecular biomarkers to diagnose endometriosis continues
Endometriosis is one of the most common reproductive disorders affecting women. Characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, it is a heterogeneous disease that can affect different anatomical sites, mainly the ovaries and the peritoneum. All forms of endometriosis cause varying degrees of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, painful defecation, and/or infertility. Although the estimated prevalence of endometriosis is 6%–10% in the general female population, it affects an estimated 35%–50% of infertile women.
