This paper is a narrative overview of modern approaches to treating endometriosis, with particular emphasis on dienogest, drawing on published pharmacodynamic, cellular, and clinical studies. It highlights evidence that dienogest can modulate endometriosis-related biology (including effects on aromatase, prostaglandin production, angiogenesis, apoptosis, progesterone receptor isoforms, inflammation-related pathways, and autophagy) and summarizes clinical observations and comparative work on pain and recurrence outcomes after surgical management, while noting that the included evidence spans diverse study designs. A key limitation is that the article functions as an overview rather than presenting new original analyses, and it relies on the heterogeneity of referenced studies and outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on modern treatment strategies and the use of dienogest in endometriosis.

Abstract

Dienogest is a highly effective drug for treating the major pain symptoms of endometriosis (chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea) and preventing a relapse with a high safety profile and good tolerability allowing to indicate it for longterm treatment of the disease. The latest data reflecting the full impact on the various links of the pathogenesis disease testify in favour of the choice of the specified progestagen.
