Diagnostic Delays and Economic Burden in Japanese Women with Endometriosis: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
diagnostic delays longer than 1.5 years may contribute to disease progression and reliance on self-management, potentially postponing medical consultation. Early intervention strategies, including screenings and public awareness, may promote timely healthcare-seeking behavior. Future studies should prioritize clinical assessments and early diagnosis to reduce the burden of advanced disease.
