Is there any low androgen birth control pills that treat endometriosis?

Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Yes: Based on a multicenter study in the 1990s, the best birth control pill for controlling endometriosis symptoms seemed to be LoOvral. Generic equivalents are called Elinest, Cryselle and LoOgestrel.
