This editorial article addresses the broader impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on gynecological healthcare, arguing that postponement of elective procedures leads to worsening benign conditions and increased morbidity. The authors highlight specific risks such as chronic pelvic pain from endometriosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, and delayed cancer diagnoses due to disrupted access to care and resources. They propose a strategic model involving patients, administrators, and clinicians to prioritize emergency services, utilize telemedicine, and maintain essential hormonal treatments during the crisis. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
