Oxidative Stress and Endometriosis
This review establishes oxidative stress as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defenses, impacting the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

This SpringerBriefs chapter reviews oxidative stress—an imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defenses—in relation to endometriosis, discussing mechanistic links and evidence from clinical, laboratory, and review studies. It synthesizes findings such as increased oxidative stress markers in peritoneal fluid and serum, altered redox systems involving thioredoxin pathways, and experimental work where antioxidant-related interventions and lipid/omega-3 modulation affect endometriosis models and related pain outcomes. The chapter’s main caveat is that the evidence base is heterogeneous and includes disparate study designs and biomarkers, so the causal direction and magnitude of effects can remain uncertain across studies. Relevance to endometriosis: the chapter’s entire focus is oxidative stress as a contributor to endometriosis pathogenesis and as reflected in multiple cited endometriosis studies, though it is not a single original experiment. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it summarizes oxidative-stress mechanisms and evidence in endometriosis.
