The incidence of endometriosis (EMS) in perimenopausal women is relatively higher and can undergo malignant transformation with age, requiring surgical treatment. Perimenopausal EMS patients are prone to postoperative Qi and blood deficiency, leading to recurrence, perimenopausal syndrome, poor surgical incision healing, and other complications, which are harmful to overall recovery. This article reviews the application value and potential mechanisms of Chinese medicine in postoperative treatment of perimenopausal EMS patients. It is found that the postoperative application of internal and external therapies of Chinese medicine for perimenopausal EMS can achieve both internal and external outcomes based on syndrome differentiation and staging. With pathogenesis of EMS, clinical manifestations of perimenopause, and adverse effects of surgical trauma being taken into consideration, it can reduce recurrence rate, relieve perimenopausal symptoms, enhance therapeutic effect, promote patient recovery, and accelerate wound healing, which has proved its clinical promotion value.
