TREATMENT OF ENDOMETRIOSIS: DANAZOL AND HOW DANAZOL WORKS

Author: admin

It is thought that Danazol eradicates endometrial implants in several ways. The net result is that the production of oestrogen is suppressed and the levels of oestrogen in the body decrease to the low levels found in women following the menopause. Hence, Danazol treatment is sometimes referred to as pseudomenopausal treatment because it mimics the hormonal condition of menopause.

The low levels of oestrogen mean that the endometrial implants are no longer stimulated to grow and break-down each month. Therefore, they become inactive and begin to gradually waste away.

Ovulation and menstruation usually cease by the end of the second month of treatment though this may depend on the dosage being taken. The symptoms of endometriosis usually begin to decrease by the end of the second month of treatment and then continue to improve throughout the course of treatment.
