Abstract:
When faced with a disease as baffling and mysterious as endometriosis, there may be a tendency to make up answers where there are none. Unfortunately, this has caused tremendous difficulties in studying the disease and has caused problems for patients. An examination of the way the disease has been psychologized sheds light on some of the confusion.
