Abstract

Endometriosis, a chronic and debilitating gynecological disorder, affects an estimated 10-15% of women of reproductive age worldwide. This condition, characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, often leads to severe pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility, profoundly impacting patients' physical and psychological well-being. Despite existing medical and surgical interventions, such as hormonal therapies and analgesics, conventional treatments frequently present limitations including significant side effects, treatment failures, and high recurrence rates. This persistent challenge underscores the critical need for alternative and complementary therapies that offer improved efficacy, better safety profiles, and enhanced patient-centered approaches. Within this landscape, herbal medicine, deeply rooted in traditional medical systems, is emerging as a promising frontier for endometriosis management, prompting rigorous scientific scrutiny and potential integration into contemporary reproductive health practices.
