Hormonal treatment of endometriosis

endomitosis treatment is treated in several ways, but the treatment with hormonal agents is by far the simplest and most effective way. This is because the hormonal treatment of this disease helps to eliminate the activity of pathogenic cells. The only inconvenience is that this treatment for endometriosis is quite long, even with minor problems. But, despite this, it is this method of treatment can restore, and fully function of the reproductive organs, without resorting to surgery.

What underlies the hormonal treatment of endomentriosis?

During the hormone therapy of endometriosis must take into account that the disease is a chronic disease with a relapsing course and signs of autonomous growth of the implant, and a complex system of molecular-genetic disorders. The morphological substrate of endometriosis will not be able to eliminate any medication, affecting only its biological activity. This can explain that hormone therapy does not have a sufficiently long-term clinical effect.

This treatment of endometriosis is based on a reduction in the level of estrogen, and also maintenance of a hypoestrogenic effect on the duration of treatment. The nature, as well as the duration of action on endometriosis, depend on the dose, type and duration of hormonal preparation intake.

Over the past three decades in the treatment of this disease have found wide application products( hormones) that cause a state of "pseudopregnancy"( progestin, estrogen-progestin), "drug hypophysectomy"( this agonists godanotropin-releasing hormone), "pseudomenopausal"( Antigonadotropins).

How does hormonal treatment cope with endometriosis?

It should be borne in mind that a change in the hormonal background is one of the potential problems provoking endometriosis. Treatment with the hormonal method contributes not only to the stabilization of the hormonal background, but also to its retention under the supervision of a specialist.

With hormonal therapy, you can achieve the desired result - stopping menstruation. Why so? Endometrial cells react cyclically. The entire menstrual cycle they are at rest, and during the menstrual period begin to bleed profusely. This is in fact their natural function. Accordingly, in the absence of menstruation, endometrial cells remain at rest.

While these cells are at rest, the body itself begins to gradually eliminate them. Education in the muscle tissues erythrocytes perceive as extraneous and destroy them. If the endometriosis in the nodular form is not expressed, then very often the female body copes with the foci of the action of the endometrium.

The period for stopping menstruation is six months. Sometimes, due to the existing conditions, this term is extended. But this practice can damage the female body if it is still in reproductive age.

Treating Endometriosis hormonal preparations are used as the primary treatment in the initial stages of the problem as well as auxiliary in advanced forms. This treatment perfectly copes with the symptoms, reduces pain, reduces the amount of blood secretions. This treatment inhibits the development of the disease in the tissues of neighboring organs, as well as in the muscles of the peritoneum. It must be remembered that for this treatment you need to have patience, because it is long enough, but effective.
