Up to 1 in 10 U.S. women ages 25 to 40 have endometriosis, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. The condition causes the tissue that grows on the uterine lining as part of monthly menstrual cycles to accumulate on other reproductive organs, leading to inflammation, swelling and scarring that can cause intense pain.

The exact cause of the condition is unknown. It is thought that overproduction of hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins and the sex hormone estrogen play a role by leading to chronic inflammation, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Pain caused by endometriosis can vary widely from one person to the next. Tamer Seckin, MD, founder of the Endometriosis Foundation of America, describes a range of symptoms, including painful periods, gastrointestinal issues (bloating, gas, cramps, diarrhea, constipation), painful intercourse and orgasms, and pain during bowel movements. Doctors often recommend over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) to help manage pain from endometriosis, according to the Mayo Clinic.

That is often the first approach to pain management for patients with milder symptoms. For women who aren’t trying to conceive, doctors may also prescribe hormone therapies. There are several hormone therapy options, according to the Mayo Clinic:Hormonal Contraceptives Birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings help control the hormones responsible for the buildup of endometrial tissue each month.Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonists and Antagonists These drugs block the production of ovarian-stimulating hormones, which lowers estrogen levels, prevents menstruation, and causes endometrial tissue to shrink.Progestin Therapy Contraceptives with this hormone can halt menstrual periods and the growth of endometrial tissue.Aromatase Inhibitors These medicines reduce estrogen levels and may be prescribed alone or combined with hormonal contraceptives to treat endometriosis.

Surgery can also help treat endometriosis, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. This may involve minimally invasive procedures to remove tissue growths, or more extensive surgery to excise growths on reproductive organs. Some patients with more severe endometriosis may get a hysterectomy, surgery to remove the uterus and possibly the ovaries.

One drawback of hormone treatments for endometriosis is that lowering or blocking estrogen production can reduce bone mineral density, weakening bones and increasing the risk of fractures over time. In clinical trials submitted to the FDA, Myfembree improved menstrual pain and pelvic pain with an average reduction in bone mineral density of less than 1 percent over one year of treatment, according to the drugmakers’ statement. However, roughly 1 in 5 patients had bone mineral density reductions of more than 3 percent, and the companies recommended that women get annual bone mineral density measurements while undergoing treatment.
