Abstract

Endometriosis is a multifactorial pathology. Trans-tubal reflux theory remains valid. Genetic and epigenetic factors associated with immunological perturbations are involved. The role of endocrine disruptors is discussed although epidemiological studies are contradictory. Therapeutics are primarily based on hormonal treatments but better understanding of pathophysiology should allow targeted non-hormonal therapy. The clinical examination is sometimes negative, which should not eliminate the diagnosis and imposes complementary examinations as best as possible by referents.
