This review outlines endocrine-based treatment strategies for symptomatic endometriosis, emphasizing that therapy must be tailored to individual patients based on the specific metabolic and side-effect profiles of progestogens, danazol, and LHRH agonists.

Abstract

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.
