Endometriosis, a disease affecting up to 10% of women, remains a mystery despite years of treatment with surgery and hormonal therapies. Specialists believe that advancements in genetic understanding and the integration of artificial intelligence may provide new options for patients.

This paradigm shift is expected to influence the future treatment of endometriosis.
