Surgical treatment for Endometriosis
Surgery is probably the most effective form of treatment for endometriosis. There is evidence that surgical treatment is effective in reducing pain associated with endometriosis and improving quality of life. Surgical treatment also improves chances of natural pregnancy in couples who have endometriosis associated infertility.
Medical treatment for Endometriosis
Some women choose medical treatment instead of surgery; medical treatment may also be necessary when symptoms persist after surgery or when surgical treatment is not possible or appropriate.
