Intervention of Phytochemicals During Endometriosis and Their Conceivable Mechanisms

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic and complex endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age. This syndrome is benign and is characterized by a combination of ovarian dysfunction and estrogen dependency symptoms, as well as pain and infertility. The most commonly stated symptoms include dysmenorrhea, significant dyspareunia, dyschezia, and dysuria. It is a severe public health issue. The prevalence rate is quite high and continues to rise on a daily basis. Starting with its diagnosis, pathophysiology, repercussions, and treatment options, there are numerous areas of disagreement. This study aims to provide an overview of the development of endometriosis diagnosis, symptoms, risk factors, etiology, medicinal plants, phytochemicals, and treatment, with a focus on research and the creation of novel therapeutic strategies. We conclude by making predictions and recommendations for the future of endometriosis-related research and prospective therapy approaches.
