| Resumo: | Endometriosis is a chronic disease that affects 10-15% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. The etiopathogenesis that fully explains its appearance in different anatomical locations has not yet been documented. Thus, there is a wide spectrum of presentations, including superficial peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriomas, and deep infiltrative endometriosis.Women suffering from this condition describe a wide variety of symptoms, which can range from asymptomatic to significantly affecting their quality of life. Symptoms include intense dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, and infertility.Regarding therapeutic strategies, the focus is primarily on relieving the symptoms of endometriosis, and include hormonal therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and surgical treatment. However, the effectiveness of these treatments is limited, not only due to the associated side effects but also because of the high rate of symptom recurrence after surgery.Therefore, to better support these women, the role of pharmaceutical intervention in improving their quality of life is highlighted. Pharmacists have the skills to advise and support women with endometriosis, both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically.Keywords: Endometriosis, superficial peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriomas, deep infiltrative endometriosis, hormonal therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, surgical treatment, pharmaceutical intervention |
