A member asked:

Is there any cure for endometriosis without getting an operation?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: There is no cure for endometriosis. And even surgery, even a hysterectomy, cannot cure endometriosis. Sometimes it is not even visible but is still present. The most powerful medicine to suppress endometriosis is lupron (leuprolide).

Dr Kuitems and 3 doctors agreed
