This paper argues that medical treatment for endometriosis is not merely an option but a mandatory requirement for patients.

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

Abstract

The aim of this article is to argue the usefulness of the systematic administration of medical treatment in women managed for endometriosis, either alone or associated with the surgery. The authors dispute seven frequent objections against the medical treatment: the lack of curative effect, the lack of primary prevention and the risk of delaying the diagnostic, the contraceptive effect in women wishing to conceive, the adverse effects, the risk of occurrence of new lesions following the arrest of the treatment, the lack of proof favourable to the efficient prevention of recurrences and the cost of the treatment. The authors conclude that to date the therapeutic amenorrhea represents an indispensable tool in the management of the endometriosis, in women both benefiting or not from surgical procedures.
