ABSTRACT

Endometriosis is an extremely prevalent disease, affecting 10- 15% of the population worldwide. In our country, it is estimated that this disease affects 35% of women with infertility. The etiology of endometriosis is unknown. Different theories have been proposed to explain it. The ectopic endometrium can develop from changes in local cells or by the arrival of endometrial cells. Numerous alterations in endometriosis have been described including: innate and acquired genomic disorders, immunological failure, intense inflammation, local estrogenic excess and poor progestational response, changes in the extra-cellular matrix and modifications of neuro neo-angiogenesis in the recipient tissue. However, the triggering cause and the sequence of events that lead to the development of the disease have not been established with certainty. Highlighted in the physiopathology, are the inflammatory process and the estrogen dependence of the disease. In the future, the continued histopathogenic research will provide hope to better understand and solve the enigma of endometriosis.
