The paper is a 2025 narrative review describing conservative (non-surgical) management of endometriosis, focusing on the use of analgesics and hormonal therapies, including combined estrogen–progestin contraception, progestins, and GnRH agonists/antagonists. It summarizes that the key goal of conservative pharmacotherapy is symptom relief—especially pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea—by suppressing ovulatory cycling and reducing activity in endometriotic lesions, while acknowledging that it does not cure the disease and is generally symptomatic with effects after discontinuation. A stated caveat is that treatment selection depends on pain severity, contraindications, tolerability, and fertility goals, and that long-term NSAID use can be limited by adverse effects such as gastrointestinal issues, renal concerns, and cardiovascular risk. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews conservative treatment options (analgesics, progestins, combined hormonal contraception, and GnRH agonists/antagonists) for controlling symptoms and lesion activity.
