The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine monomer for treating early endometriosis and application thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine monomer is ginsenoside Rg3. Results show thatthe ginsenoside Rg3 can inhibit angiogenesis of ectopic endometrium of an endometriosis rat, but does not affect the form of the endometrium in situ, which indicates that physiological blood vesselsare not affected by the ginsenoside Rg3, so that the ginsenoside Rg3 has extremely low toxicity to normal tissues. Therefore, the ginsenoside Rg3 can be applied to early treatment of endometriosis andtreatment of residual lesions in laparoscopic surgery to prevent relapse without hindering ovulation, and conforms to ideal drugs for early treatment and prevention of endometriosis. In addition, ginsenoside Rg3 can obviously lower the level of serum E2 of rats suffering from endometriosis, but has no obvious influence on the serum P level, so that the ginsenoside Rg3 is prompted to adjust the in-vivo endocrine environment by adjusting the in-vivo hormone level, does not affect pregnancy while treatment diseases, is the most effective treatment for EMs, and is high in practicability.
