Endometriosis Treatment

As many Endo sufferers already know; treatment varies, can be very invasive, and tends to be non-stop.  There doesn't seem to be a treatment protocol utilized by doctors, across the board, so each woman may experience a different treatment plan than someone else.  For the most part, however, here are the following treatment plans most typically used:

Lupron Prescribing Information - published, online, by the company who makes Lupron (and you thought the company said you could take it for longer than three or six months, huh?)

Endometriosis: LUPRON DEPOT–3 Month 11.25 mg is indicated for management of endometriosis, including pain relief and reduction of endometriotic lesions.

   Experience with LUPRON DEPOT in females has been limited to women 18 years of age and older treated for no more than 6 months.
Uterine Leiomyomata (Fibroids):
LUPRON DEPOT–3 Month 11.25 mg concomitantly with iron therapy is indicated for the preoperative hematologic improvement of patients with anemia caused by uterine leiomyomata. The clinician may wish to consider a one-month trial period on iron alone inasmuch as some of the patients will respond to iron alone (see Table 1, CLINICAL STUDIES section). LUPRON may be added if the response to iron alone is considered inadequate. Recommended therapy is a single injection of LUPRON DEPOT–3 Month 11.25 mg. This dosage form is indicated only for women for whom three months of hormonal suppression is deemed necessary.

  
Experience with LUPRON DEPOT in females has been limited to women 18 years of age and older treated for no more than 6 months.
