Does endometriosis increases or decreases in size with time?does exercise help in normalising the hormones and endometriosis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: I have had some patients who got better with time and some who got worse. Exercise always helpful for most conditions including endometriosis. Causes are still somewhat of a mystery. Hormone manipulation can help (BCP, Depo Provera, (medroxyprogesterone) Lupron) but some require surgery if severe. Best to discuss with your gyn provider. Sorry this was not more helpful. Can be VERY difficult to treat. Best of luck
