The aim of treatment is to improve fertility, remove pain
and heavy bleeding, remove or reduce the size of endometrial deposits.
The treatment can be by hormonal replacements or by surgery.
Surgical treatment by laparoscopic ablation and adhesiolysis can improve
fertility. Hormonal treatments is not preferred if fertility problems persists
because it may cause ovarian suppression. Surgical removal of endometrial deposits
by abdominal hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy or both is conducted when
family is complete and fertility is not an issue or all other means of
treatments are not applicable. Endometriosis can recur in some women receiving
HRT even with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
