Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for 21 days then break for 7 days, repeat for 2 cycles. is this treating endometriosis?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not typical: That is not a typical treatment plan for endometriosis. It is probably not harmful but not a typical regimen. Discuss with the doctor treating you and make sure you understand the plan and the options.
