Abstract

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases in women of reproductive age, which is characterized by a relapsing course. The recurrence rate varies greatly among literary sources. This review covers symptoms and types of endometriosis, laboratory tests, options for hormonal therapy, as well as features of surgical approaches that may be associated with the disease recurrence risk. The aim of this article was to analyze and summarize current literature on the definition of endometriosis recurrence, risk factors and prevention strategy. Despite advances in the study of various mechanisms for the development of endometriosis and the use of combined treatment, a high recurrence rate remains an unsolved problem for this disease. All of this underscores the need to develop new methods for early diagnosis and treatment, taking into account the risk group and a personalized approach.
