Introdução: A endometriose é uma doença inflamatória crónica que afeta 10% das mulheres, provocando dor pélvica, dismenorreia e infertilidade, com forte impacto na qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar as evidências científicas atuais sobre a influência da dieta e do exercício físico nos sintomas e na qualidade de vida de mulheres em idade fértil com endometriose. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de estudos publicados entre 2014 e 2024, utilizando os descritores endometriose, exercício físico, dieta e qualidade de vida, nas seguintes bases de dados: Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Dialnet e Cochrane. Revisões sistemáticas, meta-análises, relatos de caso, cartas e artigos sem acesso completo foram excluídos. Dois revisores independentes realizaram a seleção e extração de dados, avaliando a qualidade metodológica de acordo com o tipo de estudo. Resultados: De 523 registros iniciais, 13 artigos foram selecionados (7 sobre dieta e 6 sobre exercício físico). Intervenções dietéticas anti-inflamatórias e exercícios físicos regulares foram associados à redução dos sintomas e à melhora da qualidade de vida. Discussão: Dieta e exercícios podem influenciar os sintomas e o bem-estar dessas pacientes, embora as evidências sejam limitadas e inconsistentes. Os estudos apresentam heterogeneidade metodológica, amostras pequenas e variabilidade nas intervenções e nos desfechos, o que limita a validade interna e a generalização dos resultados. Conclusões: Dieta e exercícios são estratégias complementares ao tratamento farmacológico e/ou cirúrgico dentro de uma abordagem abrangente para a endometriose, embora sejam necessárias pesquisas mais rigorosas para comprovar seus benefícios a longo prazo.
