The paper analyzes the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis through an exploratory, descriptive literature review using searches in LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO, and BVS. It groups the reviewed articles into etiopathogenesis, symptomatology, diagnosis, and treatment, reporting that multiple theories exist but the underlying etiology remains poorly established. The review notes that symptoms vary widely and that 3–22% of patients may be asymptomatic, contributing to delayed diagnosis. Regarding management, it describes that commonly used approaches include medication, surgery, or a combination, while concluding that the disease’s enigmatic nature and incomplete etiology make diagnosis and treatment less effective. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews diagnostic and therapeutic aspects and highlights the variability of symptoms and unclear etiopathogenesis.
