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).

No: We do not have cure for endometriosis, we have good treatment for pain control.
