What Treatments Help with Painful Periods Caused by Endometriosis?

More Answer For You

In general, treatments for endometriosis focus on managing period pain and other symptoms, as there is currently no known cure.

Treatment options are varied and are tailored to an individual’s needs, depending on the severity of their symptoms and whether they plan to have children. These options include prescription period pain medication (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for milder cases, hormonal treatments such as birth control pills to manage the growth of the tissue, and in more severe cases, minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to remove the growths. In India, a comprehensive approach often combines these medical treatments with lifestyle changes like a modified diet and stress management.

An estimated 4.2 crore women in India suffer from endometriosis.
