Endometriosis - Review Of Current Therapeutic Aproaches For Disease Control
This review discusses current and emerging therapeutic approaches for managing endometriosis, focusing on hormonal and non-hormonal treatments that target disease pathogenesis.

This narrative review describes endometriosis as an estrogen-dependent chronic condition and summarizes current medication-based therapeutic approaches, focusing on women worldwide with symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and infertility. It reports that most widely used drug classes aim to suppress ovarian function, with the review highlighting combined oral contraceptives, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, and progestins as having the best therapeutic outcomes, while also noting emerging hormonal and non-hormonal therapies that target different pathogenic pathways. A key caveat stated is that medication therapy should be individualized based on endometriosis severity, drug efficacy, side effects, patient preferences, age, and reproductive plans, and the review includes therapies that are not yet approved. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews current therapeutic approaches for disease control.
