Abstract

Endometriosis is a complex and often debilitating gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. While the exact cause of endometriosis remains unclear, emerging research suggests that dietary factors may play a significant role in both its development and management.Endometriosis involves a complex, chronic inflammatory process that coincides with the spread of endometriotic lesions into the peritoneum, characterized by proliferation, vascularization, and peritoneal invasion. As a result, there is considerable current interest and ongoing research into the potential for creating an anti-inflammatory response through appropriate nutrition, and understanding how this nutritional support may impact endometriosis.
