Abstract: It is believed that retention due to deficient qi is an important pathogenesis of endometriosis （EMs）. Deficient qi is the root of the disease， mainly manifested as spleen deficiency， while retention is the branch pathogenesis of the disease， mainly with blood stasis， complicated with constraint， phlegm， heat， toxin and other pathological factors. Therefore， it is proposed to follow the treatment principle of supplementing deficiency and unblocking stagnation， and take the methods of replenishing qi and fortifying the spleen， removing stasis and eliminating concretions. Self-made Fuzheng Huayu Formula （扶正化瘀方） is taken as the basic formula， and can be modified with the symptoms in menstrual and non-menstrual periods. Additionally， the methods of moving qi， dispelling phlegm， clearing heat， relieving toxin and others can be combined， and it is recommended to treat the root and the branch simultaneously.
