Conditions & Treatments

Endometriosis

It depends on whether the patient wants to get pregnant or not. In the first case, the patient should NOT be administered any medication following the surgical procedure. If she has no plans of getting pregnant in the near future, all treatments (injections, contraceptives, etc.) have a similar effectiveness.
