Hello!
Treatments for dysmenorrhea due to endometriosis will be selected based on each person's medical condition. Here are some common treatment options for endometriosis:
1. Pain medication If you have only mild symptoms, your doctor may prescribe pain medication for you. . Pain relievers include:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: including diclophenac, ibuprofen, or meloxicam. Antipyretic, analgesic: eg aspirin, paracetamol. Opioid pain relievers: include tramadol, hydrocodone, or fentanyl. These pain relievers can be used alone or in combination to increase the effectiveness of treatment, helping patients control pain caused by endometriosis.
2. Hormone therapy Hormone therapy helps relieve symptoms of pain or heavy menstrual bleeding caused by endometriosis. The most common hormone therapies include:
Birth control pills, patch or ring: A combination of estrogen and progestin, or progestin only. The drug is given as an injection or in pill form. GnRH agonists: These drugs stop the ovaries from producing estrogen, which in turn causes endometriosis tissue to shrink. According to statistics, more than 80% of women after using this treatment have significantly reduced pain conditions, including those with severe pain. Danazol (Danocrine): This drug works to block hormone release and ovulation, and increase the body's immune system. Aromatase Inhibitors: Help the body limit the production of estrogen. These inhibitors are often used in combination with oral contraceptives when other treatments for endometriosis have not been effective. Patients should see their doctor for advice on how to treat menstrual pain caused by endometriosis. To limit the occurrence of unwanted side effects, you should use the drug exactly as prescribed by the doctor, absolutely do not arbitrarily use the drug without a prescription.
