Endometriosis treatment involves hormonal therapies like gestagens and GnRH-agonists to reduce estrogen, with surgery and continuous patient care aiding management and recurrence prevention.

Abstract

The aim of pharmacological treatment of endometriosis is to reduce estrogen levels, which may be achieved using gestagens or GnRH-agonists. The effects of the different hormones are mainly the same, while side effects differ. If the GnRH-agonist dose is modified, or if a low dose of estrogen and/or gestagen is given in addition, the hypo-estrogenic side effects of GnRH-agonists can be reduced. Surgical treatment can often be performed in conjunction with diagnostic laparoscopy. Supplementary hormonal treatment may postpone recurrence. Because endometriosis is in many women a chronically recurring disorder, continuity in the doctor-patient relationship is essential.
