Endometriosis is a gynecological disease in the form of chronic inflammation characterized by the presence of tissue outside the uterine cavity that affects around 176 million women around the world. The pathogenesis of this disease is still unknown, resulting in a lack of standard treatment. People in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, use boiled water from the cortex of Sterculia quadrifida R.Br. as a menstrual laxative and to treat menstrual pain, believed to be associated with endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate how a water extract of the S. quadrifida cortex prevents endometriosis lesions from growing in mice (Mus musculus) endometriosis models. This study was conducted as a true experimental research, dividing the mice into a control group and three SWE groups at doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kgBW. The findings showed that all SWE doses can significantly reduce endometriosis lesions and NF-κB expression compared to the negative control, with the optimal dose being 800 mg/kgBW. This activity was predicted due to its flavonoid compounds. These findings demonstrate the significant potential of S. quadrifida cortex as a developed herbal medicine for endometriosis treatment.
