No: Doxycycline is an antiobiotic used to treat infections and would not be appropriate for endometriosis

No: No. It won't treat endometriosis. It can be used to treat certain types of endometritis. Endometritis is a uterine infection. Endometriosis is not an infection and doesn't respond to antibiotics. Best wishes!
