Abstract: Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease, which occurs frequently in women of childbearing age. The incidence rate is high, and the treatment time is long. It seriously affects the physical and mental health and quality of life of women. At present, its pathogenesis has not been clarified, and the available treatment methods have their limitations, so improving the existing treatment scheme and finding new treatment drugs have become a research hotspot. In this paper, the traditional medicine and emerging medicine of endometriosis are described. This article will focus on the introduction of emerging drugs such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, aromatase inhibitors, selective progesterone receptor modulators, selective estrogen receptor modulators, anti-angiogenic agents and antioxidants, in order to provide new ideas for the research and treatment of endometriosis.
