Medical treatment of endometriosis, primarily hormonal therapy aiming for hypoestrogenism, is increasingly used for surgical preparation and recurrence prevention, with oral contraceptives and progestins offering longer-term options than GnRH agonists.

This paper reviews the role of medical treatment in endometriosis, focusing on how hormone therapy is used alongside or around surgical management. It describes hormonal strategies aimed at inducing hypoestrogenism, noting that GnRH agonists are prescribed for limited durations, while combined estrogen-progestin pills and progestins can be used for longer periods, particularly for recurrence prevention after surgery. The key emphasis is that curative care remains largely surgical, with medical therapy increasingly positioned to reduce recurrence risk and support a less aggressive overall approach. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically addresses medical (hormonal) treatment strategies for symptom control and prevention of recurrences.

Abstract

L’endométriose est une affection fréquente dont les symptômes peuvent être variés. Le traitement curatif repose surtout sur l’approche opératoire, mais le traitement médical prend une place croissante dans la préparation à la chirurgie et surtout dans la prévention des récidives. La base du traitement est l’hormonothérapie dont l’objectif est d’obtenir une hypo-oestrogénie. Si les agonistes de la GnRH sont prescrits de façon limitée dans le temps, les pilules oestroprogestatives et les progestatifs pourront être administrés beaucoup plus longtemps.
