A search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science, including only original research articles published in English. Studies on both human and animal models were considered, without restrictions on participant age, to provide a comprehensive overview of tobacco-related mechanisms in endometriosis. Tobacco smoke components, such as nicotine and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, can initiate and sustain an inflammatory response, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and recruitment of immune cells. Tobacco smoking also induces oxidative stress, disrupting cellular functions and damaging DNA. Moreover, it can cause hormonal dysregulation and interfere with hormone-related signaling pathways. Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, can also be induced by tobacco smoking. These changes affect the expression of genes involved in inflammation, cell proliferation, and hormone signaling, contributing to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies with objective biomarkers to strengthen causal inference.
