The research was carried out in the PubMed database using specific MeSH descriptors, including "Early Diagnosis," "Endometriosis," and "Fertility." Result: Early diagnosis of endometriosis is essential to provide affected women with the opportunity to manage the condition, alleviate symptoms, preserve fertility, and prevent future complications. A holistic approach, involving awareness, education, and medical intervention, is crucial to improving the quality of life for women affected by this condition. Conclusion: The importance of the early diagnosis of endometriosis transcends the boundaries of the medical sphere, permeating crucial aspects of the quality of life, emotional well-being, and reproductive health of affected women.
