Polish women acquired their knowledge mainly from the Internet and the experience of other women. The level of knowledge was significantly higher ( p = 0.001) among women with medical education.

Very good knowledge was declared by 4.5% of women, while 16.1% of participants had never heard about it. ResultsĪlmost 84% of women had heard about endometriosis, while only 1/3 of them considered their knowledge sufficient or good. It included a frequency analysis, a one-way analysis of variance ANOVA, a single variable regression analysis and Student’s t-test for independent samples. The statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 suite. The pilot studies were performed with the participation of 200 women, in an average age of 33.65 years ( SD = 11.45), who completed the authors’ questionnaire related to self-assessment of the level of knowledge about the disease, its symptoms, late effects and directions of a remediation procedure.

The objective of the study was to assess Polish women's awareness of endometriosis. Due to the elusiveness of symptoms, the most important component of early detection is proper and exhaustive knowledge. Insufficient knowledge about endometriosis among women is one of the causes of its delayed diagnoses.
