Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GnRH agonists (such as leuprolide) are the most effective class of medication for reducing pain associated with endometriosis by suppressing estrogen production, which ultimately suppresses the growth of endometrial tissue. Progestins (A) and progestin-estrogen combinations (C) may also be helpful in managing pain associated with endometriosis, but are generally less effective than GnRH agonists. Estrogen (D) would actually worsen the symptoms of endometriosis as it promotes the growth of endometrial tissue.
