What medication is used for endometriosis?

Patient's question:

My wife's menstrual cycle has been irregular recently, sometimes coming earlier and sometimes delayed. On these occasions, apart from mild menstrual cramps, she went to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound. The ultrasound report indicated endometrial hyperplasia. I'm quite worried about her, concerned that it's harmful to her health. What medications are used for endometrial hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of endometriosis primarily involves hormonal therapies. In clinical diagnosis, a certain dosage of progesterone is often used to stop menstruation. After a period of time, the ectopic endometrium will gradually expand. In addition to one method that involves using a certain dosage of androgens to create a state similar to menopause, the ectopic endometrium will lose hormonal stimulation and cease to move, thereby entering an expanded state and achieving some therapeutic effects.
