A presentation slide contrasting the current reality of late diagnosis of endometriosis with the benefits of early diagnosis through endosure. The left side lists issues like an average delay of 7-10 years, chronic symptoms and progression, and increased infertility risk. The right side highlights advantages of early diagnosis such as non-invasive, rapid screening, proactive management and symptom relief, and preserved fertility potential with lower costs.

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.
