Endometriosis management involves a range of hormonal, surgical, and novel pharmacological options, with no single superior treatment. Patient-centered care and shared decision-making are crucial in determining the best approach.
Combined oral contraceptive pills are effective for managing pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, demonstrating significant pain reduction and improved quality of life in comparative studies.
