Globally, endometriosis affects almost 10% of reproductive-aged women, leading to chronic pain and discomfort. Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) seem to play a pivotal role as a causal factor. The current manuscript aims to explain potential molecular pathways, synthesize current evidence regarding EDCs as causative agents of endometriosis, and highlight implications in the general population and clinical work. A thorough review of experimental, epidemiologic, and mechanistic research studies was conducted to explain the association between EDCs and endometriosis. Among the primary EDCs under investigation are polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, phthalates, and bisphenol A (BPA). Despite methodological heterogeneity and some discrepancies, epidemiologic evidence supports a positive association between some increased levels of BPA, phthalates, and dioxins in urine or in blood, and endometriosis. Experiments support some effect of EDCs on endometrial cells and causing endometriosis. EDCs function as xenoestrogens, alter immune function, induce oxidative stress, and disrupt progesterone signaling. Epigenetic reprogramming may play a role in mediating EDC-induced endometriosis. Endocrine, immunological, and epigenetic pathways link EDCs and endometriosis. Prevention techniques require deeper comprehension of those factors. Causal linkages and possible treatment targets should be based on longitudinal studies and multi-omics techniques. Restriction of EDCs could be beneficial for endometriosis prevalence limitation.
