This paper is a literature review examining how nutritional interventions, including diet and specific supplement classes, have been studied for managing endometriosis. It synthesizes evidence from preclinical and clinical studies focused on nutrient-related mechanisms and outcomes, with the review emphasizing compounds such as vitamin D, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and zinc, while noting that the underlying body of research includes trials and experimental models. The key finding across the cited literature is that multiple nutritional factors have been investigated with potential links to endometriosis-related biology and symptoms, but the review’s scope and the diversity of study designs are major limitations for drawing unified conclusions. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews the literature on nutritional interventions (diet and supplementation) for endometriosis management.

Abstract

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition, affects approximately 10% of women in their reproductive years, impacting around 176 million individuals globally. Characterized by endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, it leads to symptoms like chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, severely impairing quality of life. This study aims to investigate the role of nutritional interventions in managing endometriosis, highlighting their potential impact and clinical implications.
