Medical & Physical Benefits
Stops Disease Progression: Early detection allows for intervention that can slow or stop the growth of lesions, preventing severe complications like deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).
Preserves Fertility: 50% of infertile women are affected by endometriosis. Catching it early limits inflammation and scarring (adhesions) that can block fallopian tubes or damage ovaries, protecting future fertility.
Prevents Organ Damage: Untreated endometriosis can spread to the bowel, bladder, and other organs. Early diagnosis prevents deep infiltration that may require complex surgeries later.
Better Pain Management: Identifying the cause of pelvic pain early allows for targeted therapies (e.g., pelvic floor PT, specific medications) rather than generic painkillers that don't address the root cause.
Patient & Lifestyle Benefits
Validates Symptoms: Reduces the average 8+ year delay in diagnosis, validating that the pain is "real" and not psychological, which significantly reduces patient anxiety and isolation.
Avoids Unnecessary Surgery: A confirmed diagnosis via a non-invasive test like Endosure can prevent the need for diagnostic laparoscopies just to "look and see".
Treatment Monitoring: Early diagnosis provides a baseline "severity score" (Endosure score), allowing doctors to track if treatments are actually working over time.
Reduces Healthcare Costs: Prevents years of "doctor shopping" and ineffective treatments by providing a clear pathway to the correct specialist immediately.
