Since the cause of endometriosis remains unknown, a treatment which fully cures endometriosis has yet to be developed.
Current treatments available:
- Hormonal therapy. Most researchers agree that endometriosis is exacerbated by oestrogen. Hence, hormonal treatments may provide relief for endometriosis. Hormonal therapy may include birth control pills, progestins and a class of drugs known as GnRH-analogues. Hormonal therapies have varying degrees of side effects, and unfortunately, pain relief tends to be temporary.
- Painkillers. Painkillers are often prescribed for pain relief.
- Surgery. Laparoscopic surgery aims to remove all endometriosis lesions, cysts, and adhesions.
- Pregnancy and menopause. Pregnancy and menopause are natural cures for endometriosis.
