Oral contraceptives alleviate endometriosis-related dysmenorrhea, with pain recurrence slowed by longer treatment duration, and higher relief observed in patients without lesions compared to those with adenomyosis.

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

Abstract

Endometriosis is a progressing disease. Longterm medication of oral contraceptives can relieve the dysmenorrhea pain.The extent of pain relief was not connected with the length of medication.Dysmenorrhea recurred after quitting medication, and the longer of medication, the slower pain recurred.Patients without lesions experienced higher pain relieving rate than those with adenomyosis.
