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, feeling sad that it's harmful to her health. What medication is used for endometrial hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of endometriosis primarily involves hormone 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 uses a certain dosage of androgens to create a state similar to menopause, the ectopic endometrium will lose hormonal stimulation and cease to function, thereby entering an expanded state and achieving some therapeutic effects.
