Endometriosis is a common disease with typically delayed diagnosis. Its prevalence is high among adolescents with pelvic pain symptom. Deposits of tissue outside uterine cavity depend on oestrogen. Progestins and oral contraceptives are not successful 1/3 of symptomatic women worldwide. Pathogenesis of endometriosis is not well understood but immune system plays a role in its pathophysiology. The aetiology of endometriosis remains largely unknown. Here in this review, reader may find a review of systematic reviews and meta-analysis published after 2015 on endometriosis.
