The clinical efficacy of Chinese medicines in the prevention and treatment of endometriosis (EMs) is precise and can work through multiple pathways and targets. However, the complexity of the components of Chinese medicines and the single research method have led to slow progress in this field. With the emergence of high-throughput technologies, the limitations of single targets or pathways in interpreting the "holistic regulation" of TCM have been remedied by identifying genes associated with the pathophysiology of endometriosis. In this review, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and their combinatorial techniques are reviewed to reveal the molecular mechanisms of Chinese herbal medicines in the prevention and treatment of endometriosis. It provides reference ideas for precise and objective revelation of prevention and treatment of EMs, as well as theoretical basis for revealing the mechanism of complex drug intervention in the disease.
