Is there a cure for endometriosis?

Question

Is there a cure for sever endometriosis last stage? Can someone die of endometriosis? Can operating and removing organs help?

Answer 1

No: There is no definitive cure but many treatments available to control symptoms. Need management by Gynecologist and maybe Endocrinologist.

Answer 2

No, but...: "Cure " usually means it's gone forever. Many women with endometriosis can be treated by surgery and never have recurrence of disease. Medical treatment (drugs) can help with most symptoms but they do not treat the disease at all. Good wishes.

Answer 3

No: There are many treatment options but no known cure for endometriosis.

Answer 4

No: Can be treated and managed.

Answer 5

Managed: Cured might be a stretch. It can be surgicaly treated and removed, and medically managed. With treatment, the symptoms can be minimized or eliminated.

Answer 6

Sometimes: Endometriosis is a progressive condition. This means that it tries to grow or come back, even after effective treatment with surgery or medication. Fortunately, it typically stops progression after menopause or removal of both ovaries.

Answer 7

Controversial: Proper surgical resection of endometriosis, which requires an expert surgeon with specialized training, can go a long way towards ongoing relief from endometriosis. I believe (based on good data and theory) that the disease can be permanently removed. That does not mean, however, that the pain that results may not linger at least somewhat. Pain is a lot more than just some inflamed tissue.
