NSAIDs and oral contraceptives are first-line treatments for endometriosis, with GnRH agonists as second-line, while aromatase inhibitors are currently under investigation.

The paper reviews medical (pharmacologic) treatment options for endometriosis, outlining symptom burden in roughly 10% of reproductive-age women and summarizing the evidence for different drug classes. It states that no curative therapy exists, with NSAIDs and oral contraceptives presented as first-line options for symptomatic disease, while progestins and their derivatives are discussed as preceding the rise of GnRH agonists to “gold standard” second-line therapy in the 1990s. It notes that aromatase inhibitors are being evaluated in clinical studies and emphasizes that treatment is generally long-term and needs individualization across different life phases due to chronicity and recurrence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is a focused review of pharmacologic therapy options, including first-line NSAIDs/oral contraceptives, progestins, GnRH agonists, and emerging aromatase inhibitors.
