UPDATES:HRT CAN REACTIVATE ENDOMETRIOSIS

Women who go onto hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after endometriosis may find the drug reactivates the problem.

This happened to one 47 year old woman, even though she had a hysterectomy to treat the endometriosis.

She was put on a course of HRT but soon complained of kidney pains. Doctors discovered that the right kidney was obstructed, caused by a reoccurrence of endometriosis.
