Endometriosis remains an unspoken issue in women’s health, often taking years before a diagnosis is made. At a recent panel discussion organised by Hospital Picaso, clinicians highlighted how delays in diagnosis and fragmented care continue to shape poor outcomes while advocating for a shift towards coordinated, multidisciplinary management. The panel consisted of Dr Tan Ee Ping and Dr Sharifah Halimah Jaafar, both consultant gynaecologists; Dr Debbie Teh, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist; and Dr Michael Lim, a consultant gynaecologist and gynae-oncologist.
