Popular understanding, particularly in the United States, is a little behind the scientific opinion on the subject. Most women I've talked to are still under the impression that endometriosis can only be diagnosed by laparoscopy. But there have been improvements in the use of contrast MRI for diagnosis, and as of 2022 the guidelines in Europe recommend MRI as the first option.

However, the protocol isn't perfect, and there is probably still room to develop better contrast agents and MR sequences.

Some things are just hard. The treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia suck too. There is no effective reversible pharmaceutical male birth control. Et cetera.
