Endometriosis: Scrambled Eggs and Killer Cramps (Webcast)
- Pamela Stratton, M.D., explains a study investigating whether raloxifene will prevent the return of pain after surgical treatment of endometriosis. What sets this research apart is the study of a designer estrogen, which blocks the body’s estrogen in the uterus and therefore may prevent the regrowth of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a commong gynecologic disease. Tissues resembling the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, usually on the pelvic organs. The pain may be so severe that it impacts on their quality of life. Medical research on endometriosis continues to look into improving drug therapies and surgical treatments, but because of the complexity of the disease, there may be a long way to go before finding a cure.
