At present, because of the unclear pathogenesis of endometriosis, there is a lack of secular and effective treatment of endometriosis. With the in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of endometriosis by more and more scholars, many studies have showed that the pathogenesis of endometriosis is associated with human microflora closely, which can participate the development of endometriosis by affecting human growth, metabolism and immune function. This paper reviewed the correlation between microflora and endometriosis, which can provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis.
