子宫内膜异位症（EM）是一种常见的妇科疾病，引起月经和盆腔疼痛，影响10%-15%的育龄妇女。近年来，补充和替代医学（CAM）治疗EM已成为流行，由于报告的不良反应很少。EM的CAM治疗包括几种不同的治疗方法，如草药（草药处方，提取物和专利），针灸，微波理疗和中药灌肠（CHM灌肠）。这些CAM疗法可有效缓解痛经，缩小附件肿块，促进怀孕，与激素和手术治疗相比，副作用较少。本文就CAM治疗EM的研究现状进行综述，并结合临床和实验研究，探讨CAM治疗EM的疗效和机制。希望能为今后的临床治疗和实验研究提供一些有指导意义的建议。
Endometriosis (EM) is one of the common gynecological conditions causing menstrual and pelvic pain and affects 10%–15% of women of reproductive age. In recent years, the complementary and alternative medical (CAM) treatment for EM has become popular due to the few adverse reactions reported. The CAM therapy for EM includes several different treatments such as herbs (herbal prescription, extract, and patent), acupuncture, microwave physiotherapy, and Chinese herb medicine enema (CHM enema). These CAM therapies are effective at relieving dysmenorrhoea, shrinking adnexal masses, and promoting pregnancy, with less unpleasant side effects when compared to hormonal and surgical treatments. In this review, we focus on the status quo of CAM on EM and try to identify therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms based on some clinical and experimental studies. We hope to provide some instructive suggestions for clinical treatment and experimental research in the future.
