Abstract:

With the development of the research on the pathogenesis of endometriosis(EMs), EMs is no longer a hormone-dependent disease, inflammation, immune dysfunction and oxidative stress disorder are also involved in the adhesion, invasion and growth of endometriosis fragments in "different places". These abnormalities in the endometrial microenvironment provide new research directions for the treatment of EMs with non-hormonal drugs. This review focuses on the research progress of non-hormonal drugs such as TNF-α inhibitors, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, macrolides, leptin and leptin receptor antagonist and plants, for clinical workers to better understand the therapeutic prospect of non-hormonal drugs.

Key words: Endometriosis, Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors, Macrolides, Curcumin, Non-hormones drug, Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors, Anti-leptin signaling
