HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Endometriosis may be asymptomatic in 1/3 of the women who have it.

Endometriosis depends on the cyclic production of hormones during the menstrual cycle and this is the basis of treatment.
The mainstays of treatment are: oral contraceptive pill, a medication called danazol, progestational medications and gonadatrophin releasing analogs

Danazol suppresses the release of the reproductive hormones

Progestational medications cause a decrease in amount of the endometrium

gonadatrophin releasing analogs also result in a decrease in the hormone level.

Her doctor will discuss the options and which would be better for her.

I hope this helps
