Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue resembling the lining of the womb grows outside it, often around the ovaries, fallopian tubes or pelvic lining. It can also affect the bowel, bladder or, in some cases, areas outside the pelvis.

Key points

  • Endometriosis is commonly diagnosed in women and girls from puberty through menopause, though it can affect anyone who has or had a womb.
  • Symptoms arise when endometriosis patches break down and bleed but the blood cannot exit the body.
  • There is no known cause and no cure for endometriosis, but treatment can help manage symptoms such as pain.

Medicines listed for Endometriosis

The two products listed for endometriosis contain Dydrogesterone and Danazol, both supplied as tablets. Dydrogesterone is a progestogen, a form of the hormone that supports the womb lining. Danazol is a synthetic androgen that can reduce the hormonal stimulation of endometriosis tissue.
