Advanced transvaginal ultrasound is more commonly utilised currently · Treatment modalities- Medical: NSAIDs, hormonal therapies (COCP, progestins, GnRH analoguess). Surgical: ablation, excision of endometriosis / endometriomas, oophorectomy, hysterectomy where there is adenomyosis and in cases refractory to more conservative treatments · Multidisciplinary: Pain management, physiotherapy, fertility support. Indirect Care: · Psychological Burden- High rates of depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Impact on body image, sexual health, and self-esteem. · Social & Occupational Functioning- Absenteeism, reduced productivity, and career disruption. Strained relationships and social isolation. · Economic Costs-Direct costs: diagnostics, medications, surgeries. Indirect costs: lost income, disability claims, long-term care. · Healthcare System Strain- Repeated GP visits, referrals, and emergency presentations. · Need for specialist-led care pathways and early intervention protocols.
