One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Medical options include the GnRH agonists and antagonists. Review of these treatments in the management of endometriosis pain and the insight often to the etiology of endometriosis are presented for discussion.
