Recent Progress in Medical Treatment of Endometriosis

Endometriosis(Ems)mainly occur in women of reproductive age,who usually receive conservative surgery and(or)drugs treatment.The traditional drugs for EMS restrain the growth of endometrial lesions primarily by inhibiting ovarian hormone secretion,however,with high recurrence rate and side effects.At presen,GnRHa has been widely used in clinic;other new agents such as GnRHA,AI,SERM,SPRM,etc.are still in the development stage,and their mechanisms,therapeutic effect and safety for treating EMS have been extensively studied.These new agents are likely to become the new ways to treat EMS,making up for the deficiency of the existing treatment methods.
