Endometriosis is a chronic proinflammatory pathology characterized by the growth of tissue similar to the endometrium outside the uterus, affecting approximately 5 to 15% of women worldwide. Suffering from endometriosis entails a complex pathophysiological process, significantly impacting the quality of life and reproductive function of affected women; therefore, it must be addressed in a personalized and comprehensive manner, as its management requires a multidisciplinary approach. This article aims to conduct a comprehensive literature review of endometriosis, not only as a pathophysiological condition but also as a significant factor impacting the social, nutritional, and mental well-being of those who experience it. Emphasis is placed on the importance of understanding and assessing the impact of the pathology to provide a better and more comprehensive approach, integrating various alternatives and strategic treatments for the factors involved in its development. The aim is to provide a complete overview of endometriosis, from its pathophysiology to its impact on the quality of life of patients, as well as a review of current treatment options, both pharmacological and alternative, in order to broaden the perspective on the pathology to improve the care of patients with this disease.
子宫内膜异位症是一种慢性炎症性疾病,其特征是子宫外出现类似子宫内膜的组织生长,全球约5%至15%的女性受其影响。患有子宫内膜异位症涉及复杂的病理生理过程,对受影响女性的生活质量和生殖功能有重大影响;因此,必须以个性化和全面的方式加以应对,因为其管理需要多学科方法。本文旨在对子宫内膜异位症进行全面的文献综述,不仅将其视为一种病理生理状况,还将其视为影响患者社会、营养和心理健康的重要因素。重点强调理解和评估该疾病影响的重要性,以便提供更好、更全面的方法,整合针对其发展相关因素的各种替代方案和策略性治疗。目的是提供子宫内膜异位症的完整概述,从其病理生理学到对患者生活质量的影响,以及对当前药物和替代治疗方案的综述,以拓宽对该疾病的认识,改善对患有这种疾病患者的护理。
