Clinical studies of medicine-based and surgical methods for the treatment of endometriosis are described. Although endometriosis was described as early as in the XIX century, the causes for its emergence and spread have not been fully investigated. Also, many questions regarding methods of treatment remain far from being solved. Due to the chronic and often relapsing nature of the disease, Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) has concluded the following: "endometriosis should be viewed as a chronic disease that requires a lifelong management plan with the goal of maximizing the use of medical treatment and avoiding repeated surgical procedures." Thus, treatment of endometriosis should not only be comprehensive but also adapted to the specifics of each woman's organism.
