This review article outlines the clinical characteristics and management of endometriosis, defining it as the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It highlights that disease severity does not correlate with lesion quantity and notes that while etiopathogenesis remains unclear, diagnostic confirmation typically relies on laparoscopy. The text details various therapeutic approaches, including medical induction of pseudopregnancy through hormones like GnRH analogs and progestins, alongside conservative or aggressive surgical interventions, noting high rates of recurrence across all treatment modalities. This paper is centrally about endometriosis, serving as a comprehensive overview of its diagnosis, pathophysiology theories, and standard treatment options.
