A member asked:
21 years old stage 4 endometriosis, on lupron (leuprolide) depot and still have pain. have had 2 laparoscopic surgeries. what can i do now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: Lupron (leuprolide) in combination with conservative surgery is usually helpful for symptomatic endometriosis. However there is another medication called danocrine that can be dosed in a variety of ways that may help as well. This was on the market well before Lupron (leuprolide) and may be worth a trial. Talk with your doctor and good luck. This is a frustrating disease.
