Endometriosis is an inflammatory pathology characterized by changes in ovarian tissue in women, of reproductive age. People with this disease present symptoms ranging from dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, chronic fatigue and difficulty getting pregnant. Therefore, this study is a bibliographical review of the literature with the objective of evaluating the role of nutrition in the treatment of women diagnosed with endometriosis. Thus, the health descriptors (DeCs) used in English and Portuguese were endometriosis, woman and diet using the databases (PubMed, VHL and SciELO), using as subsidies the articles available in full, in English and Portuguese and published in the last 10 years (2013 to 2023). Finally, based on the findings, it is possible to point out the importance of adhering to a healthy diet and the relevant role of micronutrient supplementation, such as vitamins C, D, E and B12 and the minerals Zinc and Potassium, for women with endometriosis.
