This review outlines medical treatments for endometriosis, including NSAIDs, progestins, and GnRH analogs, aiming to reduce pain and inflammation by addressing progesterone resistance and estrogen deprivation.

The paper reviews the medical (systemic) treatment of endometriosis, describing the disease burden and key mechanisms such as progesterone resistance and activation of multiple inflammatory processes. It outlines therapeutic goals of analgesia, anti-inflammation, and increasing progesterone availability via estrogen deprivation, and summarizes commonly used drug classes including NSAIDs, progestins, progestogen-dominant contraceptives, progestogen-containing intrauterine systems, and GnRH analogues/antagonists. In Germany, dienogest and danazol are licensed, with danazol noted as rarely prescribed due to its side-effect profile, and in the USA elagolix (an oral GnRH antagonist) is licensed for endometriosis-associated pain while additional drugs are under investigation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on the medical pharmacologic treatment options and their rationale.
