Abstract
Dysbiosis in gut and reproductive tract microbiota may contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
- Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of endometrium-like tissue.
- Local and systemic inflammatory responses associated with endometriosis lead to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea in about 84.9% of patients.
- Emerging evidence indicates that dysbiosis in microbiota can initiate immune inflammatory responses related to endometriosis.
- The interactions between microbiota dysbiosis and endometriosis may propagate systemic inflammation through cytokine networks and metabolic pathways.
- Microbiota-targeted interventions are being explored as potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for managing endometriosis.
