Diagnosed With Endometriosis Or Ovarian Cyst. Use Althea Pills Instead Of Gonadotropin?
I was diagnosed with endometriosis or ovarian cyst...I would like to ask if I can use althea pills instead of the gonadotropin analogue which my doctor will give me this month? gonadotrpin analogue is so expensive and administered in the clinic on my first day of mens... I don't like to experience pain whenever I ovulate this month.
Hello Thanks for your query. If you have never taken any medical management for endometriosis or ovarian cyst, then you can start off with Althea pills. Some women would not experience relief with OC pills. That is when Gonadotropin analogues are administered. They are definitely expensive but a better choice for symptom control. Given a choice, they are more effective in controlling pain. All the best.
