Abstract: 
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder, which is marked by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing severe symptoms and diagnostic challenges. This article examines the symptoms, such as pelvic pain and infertility, and discusses the diagnostic methods including transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The significant impact on quality of life and the various medical and surgical treatments available are explored. Additionally, this composition addresses the fertility issues associated with endometriosis and the factors contributing to its development, including genetic predisposition and environmental influences. Current research efforts aimed at improving diagnostics and treatments are also reviewed, highlighting the potential for better management and future cures.
