Overview

Endometriosis is a common condition that causes pain and infertility. This review of research on endometriosis treatment found that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, progestins, and oral contraceptives have shown some benefit. GnRH agonists appear most effective but are expensive and cannot be used long-term. Progestins have a good balance of effectiveness and cost, but are less effective than GnRH agonists. Oral contraceptives are only effective while being taken. Future treatment options may include GnRH agonists, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), anti-estrogens, and medications that modulate the immune system.
