The relationship between race/ethnicity and endometriosis has been explored for over a century. Historical bias and poorly conducted research have led to the idea that this condition is less likely to be diagnosed in certain racial groups, such as Black women. We review the current state of evidence and highlight important limitations within medical education and research on this topic. Finally, we advocate for a shifting viewpoint as we strive to deliver equitable and outstanding care for all endometriosis patients.
