A member asked:
I've got severe endometriosis that doesn't get any better through either surgery or gnrh analogues. is chemotherapy an option to kill the tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endometriosis : I am sorry you are in pain. Unfortunately there is no chemotherapy for endometriosis. However, usually endometriosis surgery or gnrh analogues provide relief for at least short time. I would make sure there is no other cause of your pain in addition to emosis. The only way to get rid of endometriosis is hysterectomy. Pregnancy also will make the symptoms less at least for the 9 mo but often longer
