 Dioxin and endometriosis

Hi everybody,

Does anyone know of a connection between dioxin and endometriosis?
A friend of mine has endometriosis and she would like to know this.
BTW, are you aware of a treatment (other than surgical intervention) against
it?

Thanks,

Never heard of such connection.

Plenty of medical alternatives, including birth control pills, androgen-like
hormones, GnRH analogs.  The strategy is the same in all these {*filter*}...to
suppress the woman's natural estrogens, which stimulate endometriosis and
make the symptoms worse.  Usually, the {*filter*} are tried first.  But there
are certain complications from endometriosis which can ONLY be corrected
surgically.
