Your healthcare provider will help create your treatment plan for endometriosis based on a few factors, including:
- The severity of your endometriosis.
- Your plans for future pregnancies.
- Your age.
- The severity of your symptoms (often pain).
In many cases, your treatment plan will focus primarily on managing your pain and improving fertility issues (if you are planning on a future pregnancy). This can be done through medications and surgery.
Medications are often used to help control the symptoms of endometriosis. These can include pain medications and hormone therapies.
