Endometriosis impacts multiple organs and its complex mechanisms hinder complete cure, though hormonal drugs have shown recent treatment success.

This paper discusses the treatment landscape for endometriosis, focusing on how current therapies address implantation and growth of endometrioid lesions across different sites and severities. It highlights that systemic effects on distant organs (including liver, pancreas, thyroid, adrenal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems) occur and that the underlying mechanisms are complex and incompletely understood, limiting the likelihood of complete cure, although hormonal drugs have shown notable successes. A key caveat is that clinically inactive disease—especially peritoneal and ectocervical/extracervical localizations—requires careful differentiation because hormone therapy can sometimes activate disease processes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides an overview of current treatment approaches and the risks of hormonal therapy in clinically inactive forms.

Abstract

Regardless of the localization and severity of clinical manifestations, E affects the functions of not only damaged and adjacent, but also distant organs: liver, pancreas and thyroid glands, adrenal glands, cardiovascular and nervous systems. The true mechanisms that regulate the processes of implantation and development of endometrioid heterotopias are complex and insufficiently studied, which does not allow us to assume the possibility of a complete cure, and in a number of patients, even achieving long-term remission or stopping the progression of the disease. Certain successes have been achieved in the treatment of E in recent years, especially in connection with the use of modern hormonal drugs. The treatment of clinically inactive E, which is more often observed in lesions of the peritoneum of the small pelvis, ectocervical and extracervical localizations, should be approached carefully and differentiated, since sometimes hormone therapy can contribute to the activation of the process.
