Abstract

Introduction: It is undeniable that chronic pelvic pain, and especially endometriosis, is a growing public health problem.
Discussion: Endometriosis is a significant public health problem faced by a very large number of women. There are numerous predisposing factors, and the disease itself has multiple organic and psychogenic aspects that directly affect the quality of life of women.
Conclusion: Given the limited effectiveness of surgical and drug interventions in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis, quality diagnostics are necessary. For this reason, the need to introduce targeted biomarkers as well as other minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures arises. In this regard, it is of utmost importance to accept the psychological aspects of the disease itself, with an emphasis on their prevention, treatment and monitoring.
