And not really understanding that it all goes together.
And that's why it's a delay in diagnosis for most women.
The delay in diagnosis is seven to nine years before they're...
adequately diagnosed and treated for their endometriosis?
Yeah, it's a long time.
Women with endometriosis have had multiple, multiple trips to the doctor.
It's not like they were not complaining about it.
It's just that being able to make the diagnosis.
And as physicians, we like objective data.
We like to be able to do some lab work and see it or do an ultrasound and
and see it or a CT.
And the problem with endometriosis, the reason why a lot of times it's not visualized on a scan is because the little spots of endometriosis will be so small that they're below the resolution of whatever you're trying to do to look at it.
So you can't see it on a scan.
Well, then how do you diagnose it?
Well, you have the clinical presentation.
But sometimes if you're really concerned, you need to do a laparoscopy, which is that's where you just take a look, go through a scope and look in there and you see it.
And that's how you can definitively make the diagnosis.
The one thing that the laparoscopy will allow you to do is that if you see it, in addition to being able to treat it medically, if I see endometriosis, I can go in with my laser and I can zap it and correct the things that I see.
then do the medical treatment afterward.
