The study later got retracted due to backlash but the fact that it happened at all if fucking baffling.

Don’t forget this study that instead of studying the causes or cures for endo studied the mental effects of the men in a relationship with someone who has endo.

    I have no issues with doing research studies about the mental health of people in close proximity of pain.

    My issue with it is mostly due to the lack of research on the people actually in pain. That study is good but it feels backhanded when the women with endo themselves are being left out of a lot of that study funding.

      Did you stop reading that comment halfway through?

      There are over 55,000 hits on NLM for “endometriosis.” The vast majority of them appear, from a quick perusal, to concern things one would expect, such as treatment, management, risk, and root cause

      This IS being researched. What are you complaining about? That not 100% of the money goes directly into figuring out root causes and cures but instead some of it also goes into researching social, cultural, and genetic predispositions towards it’s persistence?
