• Abstract:

  Endometriosis is a chronic and complex gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Given this, the present study aims to discuss multidisciplinary approaches to endometriosis, highlighting pain management, pharmacological treatments, and surgical interventions. The methodology applied was based on a literature review, using books and scientific articles from databases on the subject, between 2020 and 205. The results identified that pharmacological advances and evidence favoring surgical excision in deep lesions offer new tools, but the greatest gain in pain and quality of life outcomes comes from real and sustained integration between areas such as gynecology, rehabilitation, psychology, and pain management. Multidisciplinary centers, individualized protocols, and ongoing research on therapeutic combinations and long-term follow-up are necessary steps to improve outcomes in a disease that intensely impacts the lives of millions of people. In conclusion, it should be emphasized that the future of care for women with endometriosis depends on health policies that strengthen multidisciplinary reference centers, encourage long-term collaborative research, and promote equitable access to modern treatments. In this way, it will be possible to offer not only pain relief but also a significant improvement in the physical, emotional, and social well-being of patients.
