Abstract: Endometriosis is a common benign disease in reproductive age women, but it possesses the malignancy tendency to invade, plant and recur. Endometriosis mainly presents as dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorder and dyspareunia. Endometriosis is associated with infertility intimately, and the precise pathogenesis is not completely understood. In recent years, most scholars consider that endometriosis is a kind of autoimmune disease. Autoimmune response play a role in the pathogenesis, and detection of autoantibodies may provide a new auxiliary index on the early diagnosis of the endometriosis.
