Professional education and early diagnosis of endometriosis in adolescence

Funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the EU, Mona Lisa Smile develops a digital training (MOOCS) and a specific app, and addresses the needs of education and training of health professionals on endometriosis in adolescence, with the aim of reducing the diagnostic delay.

Early diagnosis, in particular in adolescents, still represents a challenge for clinicians

The majority of adult women with endometriosis refer the onset of symptoms since they were adolescents, but diagnostic delay is still estimated to be around 7 years.
