Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent condition and is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue. The pathogenesis of this condition remains an enigma. Endometriosis has well known associations with menopause both in terms of secondary outcomes from medical and surgical therapy in premenopausal women, as well as a natural occurrence/recurrence of the disease in women going through menopause naturally. This review article aims to discuss the current day modalities of management of endometriosis with their pros and cons especially in the context of menopause and cancer.
子宫内膜异位症是一种雌激素依赖性疾病，其特征是存在异位子宫内膜组织。这种疾病的发病机制仍然是个谜。子宫内膜异位症在绝经方面有着众所周知的关联，这既体现在绝经前女性接受药物和手术治疗的次要结果上，也体现在自然绝经女性中该疾病的自然发生/复发上。这篇综述文章旨在讨论当前子宫内膜异位症的管理方式及其利弊，尤其是在绝经和癌症的背景下。
