Summary. Endometriosis is a complex and invalidating chronic disease which attacks one woman in four and it is still not well known. Despite the fact that its origin is of organic dimensions, endometriosis is a disease whose symptoms involve the biopsychic unity of women, influence their Life Style and compromise their three vital functions.
