When laparoscopic examination is performed on women with severe pelvic pain, 45% have #endometriosis lesions.
When it's performed on women with NO pain, 44% do.
Statisticians, what does that suggest? 🤔

Pelvic pain is real. The role that #endometriosis lesions may (or may not) play in that pain is debatable.
