Hormonal treatments are a common and effective way to manage endometriosis symptoms, helping many patients find relief through options like birth control pills, progestins, or GnRH agonists — as discussed in our guide to hormonal treatments for endometriosis. But for those who need more support or are exploring non-hormonal paths, there are several other approaches that can make a difference — from dietary and lifestyle changes to pelvic floor therapy, surgery, and fertility care. Here’s a closer look at what else may help.
Non-Hormonal Ways to Treat Endometriosis Pain
Other treatments which may be helpful include:
- Dietary and lifestyle changes
- Hormone blockers
- Pelvic floor physical therapy
- Pain medications
- Surgery to remove endometriosis tissue from where they don’t belong — this may include:
- Hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus)
- Oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries)
Fertility Considerations
If fertility is an issue due to endometriosis, then in vitro fertilization or other assisted reproductive technologies may be necessary if childbearing is desired.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you suspect you may have endometriosis, so we can come up with a personalized treatment plan for you!
