Endometriose: fisiopatologia e manejo terapêutico
Endometriosis, affecting 10% of reproductive-aged women, is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory condition causing pain and infertility, diagnosed via transvaginal ultrasound and laparoscopy with histopathology.

The paper reviews the pathophysiology and therapeutic management of endometriosis, describing it as an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It summarizes epidemiology and symptom patterns across reproductive-age women and discusses proposed etiopathogenic contributors (congenital, environmental, genetic, autoimmune, immunologic, and endocrine), while noting that genetic risk involves regulatory DNA sequences affecting gene transcription. For diagnosis, it states that transvaginal ultrasonography is a first-line imaging tool and that laparoscopy with histopathologic confirmation is the gold standard, with CT limited to specific scenarios; the paper does not identify novel limitations beyond the inherent constraints of a narrative review. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on endometriosis pathophysiology and therapeutic management, including diagnostic and treatment approaches.
