Hovedbudskap
Endometriose som kan medføre underlivssmerte og barnløshet, er en vanlig sykdom hos kvinner i fertil alder
Sykdommen kan behandles kirurgisk eller medikamentelt med god symptomlindring, men residiv er vanlig
Hormonell behandling med p-pille, gestagen, danazol eller gonadotropinfrigjøringshormon-agonist har lik effekt ved symptomlindring, men det er store forskjeller i pris og i bivirkningsprofil
