I have just recently been diagnosed with endometriosis and am still
recovering from my surgery but wanted to respond to your question. I
suspect that DEPO would be benefitial as when I was using it (prior to
any endo symptons, I completely stopped menestrating) and stayed on it
for years. The only downfall (and the reason I quit) is that it
completely depleted my sex drive and was killing my marriage. There
must be a happy medium somewhere.
Good Luck to you!
