A member asked:

I'm 49 years old and i've been diagnosed with endometriosis i was put on a regimen of 3.75 lupron (leuprolide) injectable for 6 months i didn't have a period for 3?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is normal: Lupron (leuprolide) will make you stop menstruating. I start my patients on continuous ocp to continue thinning the endometrium. This can also keep the pain controlled. Once you enter menopause, (average age is 51), hopefully the symptoms will also improve.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
