Many options: Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/endometriosis/ds00289/dsection=treatments-and-drugs for options re treatment options for endometriosis. Otc anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen can relieve occasional cramps. Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) can be taken in such a way as to decrease menstrual frequency from monthly down to quarterly or even yearly thus minimize pain.
