Endometriosis is a disorder observed when the inner uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
The condition manifests itself in irregular cycles, lower abdominal pain intensifying before menstruation, and discomfort during sex.
To relieve endometriosis pain, the doctor may prescribe hormonal medications. It is important to remember that if they are discontinued, the symptoms will return. The methods that have proven effective are progestins, which prevent the endometrial foci from growing; agonists, which are taken in case of severe disease, as they cause temporary artificial menopause; and the hormonal intrauterine device Mirena, which shows positive results in treating uterine endometriosis (adenomyosis).
When choosing a treatment strategy, the doctor will take into account how ready your body is for changes associated with a temporary absence of menstruation.
Adequately prescribed therapy will relieve the unpleasant symptoms, helping you feel better and maintain your usual lifestyle.
