Risk factors for hormonal therapy failure in endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people with endometriosis stop responding to hormonal treatments. It aims to find risk factors for treatment failure, which could help doctors choose better therapies in the future.
