Endometriosis: Diagnosis and Treatment
This special issue belongs to the section “Obstetrics & Gynecology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometriosis is a chronic, often debilitating condition that affects an estimated 400 million–1 billion individuals globally. Despite its high prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, diagnosis and treatment remain complex and frequently delayed. This Special Issue aims to bring together leading research and clinical insights concerning the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis, with a focus on advancing timely, accurate diagnostic methods, evidence-based therapeutic strategies, and multidisciplinary approaches to care.
We invite original research articles, reviews, clinical studies, and case reports that explore innovative diagnostic tools (including imaging and biomarker development), medical and surgical treatment modalities, long-term management strategies, fertility preservation, and the role of artificial intelligence and omics in personalized care. Submissions addressing disparities in access to care and quality of life outcomes are also encouraged.
By assembling a comprehensive body of work on endometriosis, this Special Issue seeks to foster collaboration across specialties, promote standardization of care, and ultimately improve outcomes for individuals affected by this complex disease.
