This reply discusses a systematic review of continuous versus cyclic oral contraceptives for endometriosis and references multiple studies on their efficacy in treatment and recurrence.

This paper is a brief reply by Zorbas and colleagues responding to a comment about the article “Continuous versus cyclic oral contraceptives for endometriosis: any conclusive evidence.” It addresses the exchange at the level of the evidence discussion and maintains that, based on the literature considered in the earlier review topic, definitive conclusions are limited. The main caveat is that it is not a new clinical study but a commentary reply tied to previously published systematic-review material. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper is directly about endometriosis treatments and discusses the evidence base comparing continuous versus cyclic oral contraceptive regimens.
