A member asked:

What are your thoughts on lupron (leuprolide) treatment for endometriosis pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may help: Lupron and Synarel (nafarelin) are both GnRh Agonist drugs that tend to block any progression of existing endometriosis, but may or may not help with the pain. If a 3 to 6 month course of Lupron doesn't alleviate the pain your MD may consider Laparoscopy with ablation as a method + pain medication.
