Not many: Endometriosis tends to return with a "vengeance" if its' re-growth is not suppressed and "wipe out" future fertility. GnRh Agonists like Lupron and Synarel (nafarelin) are used for that suppression and treatment. Hormonal contraception can also work to do the same such as implants, shots(Depo provera) and oral contraceptives.
