How does estrogen affect the progression of endometriosis, particularly in promoting the growth of endometrial tissue and what role does hormone therapy play in managing this condition?
Estrogen promotes the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, aggravating endometriosis. Hormone therapy helps manage symptoms by reducing estrogen levels.
Estrogen promotes the growth and thickness of endometrial tissue, exacerbating endometriosis. Hormone therapy often aims to reduce estrogen levels, limiting tissue proliferation and easing symptoms.
