Review article is devoted to the problem of endometriosis. The data on the modern views on the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis development are presented. The main features of clinical manifestations, modern methods of diagnosis and approaches to the treatment of patients suffering from this disease are reflected. The analyzed data from a number of publications indicate a lack of knowledge of endometriosis, the lack of common approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The methods of diagnosis of endometriosis existing today need to be improved, and treatment requires the development of fundamentally new etiopathogenetically based methods. The introduction of effective methods of treatment of endometriosis will significantly improve not only the health of patients in particular, but also the quality of life in general.
