Medical treatment of symptomatic endometriosis

Ulrich Cirkel

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital Muenster, Albert-Schweitzer-Straβe 33, 48129 Muenster Germany

The concept of endometriosis and strategies for its treatment are reviewed. Treatment is mainly endocrine-based, using progestogens, danazol and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists. Such treatment is complex, and therapy strategies have to be tailored to the individual; the choice of treatment, therefore, depends on the metabolic and side-effects of each compound.

Key words: endometriosis/medical therapy/symptomatology
