The paper reviews the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis, describing its estrogen-dependent proliferation of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, most often on the pelvic peritoneum and ovaries, but also in sites such as the intestine, diaphragm, and pleural cavity. Using a documentary literature review approach drawing on electronic databases (e.g., Google Scholar and PubMed) and MeSH descriptors, it reports that endometriosis can affect up to 15% of women of reproductive age and may be underdiagnosed because physical examination alone is insufficient; it also summarizes characteristic symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, urinary and bowel pain, depression, fatigue, and infertility. It states diagnostic options including transvaginal ultrasound, MRI for intestinal disease, and diagnostic laparoscopy as a high-choice method for detecting lesions, and it outlines pain-directed first-line anti-inflammatory NSAIDs, escalation to opiates if needed, and hormonal therapy plus mood-related treatments. Limitations include that it is a narrative/documentary review without primary patient data or quantitative synthesis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides a literature-based overview of its diagnosis and treatment.
