Her, His, and their journey with endometriosis: a qualitative study
The study's findings emphasize the importance of viewing the diagnosis from a dyadic perspective and comprehensively - that is, from pre-diagnosis to accepting the formal diagnosis to post-diagnosis. This journey can have a profound impact on both couple members, affecting their day-to-day functioning, communication, emotional and physical intimacy, and fertility.
