This narrative literature review examines the pathophysiology, diagnosis, current treatments, and quality-of-life impact of endometriosis, describing that it affects about 10–15% of women of reproductive age worldwide (estimated 176 million cases) and is characterized by progressive, estrogen-dependent cellular growth. It summarizes how diagnostic approaches have shifted toward non-surgical methods, and it highlights chronic pelvic pain as a major symptom with both cyclic and non-cyclic patterns, alongside associations with infertility (20–68% among infertile patients) and multisystem/organ involvement requiring multidisciplinary symptomatic management. The review explicitly notes that endometriosis lacks a well-established cause and does not have a curative treatment, emphasizing the need for further research to clarify pathogenesis, develop definitive noninvasive diagnostic techniques, and advance hormone-free treatment options—especially for women who want to conceive. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews current understanding and emerging directions for diagnosis and treatment.
