How common is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a relatively common condition, impacting approximately 10% of women worldwide. It can occur at any stage of reproductive life but is most often diagnosed in women in their 30s and 40s. Despite being common, it’s often underdiagnosed due to its wide range of symptoms, which can include pelvic pain, heavy periods, and infertility. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve quality of life and fertility outcomes.
