Endometriosis refers to hormone-dependent diseases. Most often, such a diagnosis is made to women of reproductive age. In this case, the mucous membrane of the uterus grows in other organs, where it should not be.
The answer to the question "how is endometriosis treated" depends on many factors. The choice of treatment tactics is determined taking into account the woman's age, the spread and localization of the disease, previous pregnancies, symptoms and other things.
Before deciding on the treatment methods, the doctor conducts a thorough study of the patient’s condition and, on the basis of the information received, decides on the necessary measures. At the same time, medical measures are more aimed not at eliminating endometriosis, but at eliminating the negative consequences as a result of its development (ovarian cysts, adhesions in the pelvic area and others).
Methods for treating endometriosis
Conservative treatment is prescribed if the disease proceeds without severe symptoms. This method includes traditional therapy: hormonal, anti-inflammatory, desensitizing and symptomatic.
How to treat endometriosis with a conservative method
The main component of this method is hormone therapy, which includes taking various drugs: gestagens, estrogen-progestogens, antigonadotropic and agonists of gonadotropic hormones.
Surgical treatment of endometriosis involves removal of the uterus and ovaries. This method is indicated in case of deterioration of the patient after ineffective conservative therapy for women over 40 years of age. It is worth noting that such a radical method of treatment is required in 12% of all cases.
The main goal of the symptomatic method is to reduce pain. For this, inhibitors of prostaglandins, antispasmodics and analgesics are prescribed.

Treatment of endometriosis "Janine"
Zhanin is an oral contraceptive drug with a low dosage of hormones, which is actively used to treat endometriosis. The main component of the drug "Janine" is dienogest - progesterone, which has a direct effect on reducing the germination and overgrowth of the uterine mucosa. Studies on the treatment of endometriosis with Janine tablets have shown that this drug helps to achieve disease regression quite effectively. In addition, the composition of these birth control pills includes a substance that ensures the optimal course of the menstrual cycle and the balance of biorhythms - estradiol. Another advantage of this tool is rare side effects and the absence of negative effects on the body.
