The pill may help manage symptoms in some people, but it does not treat endometriosis. It will not preserve your future fertility and it will not keep those lesions from growing. Not to mention it does nothing for the heart disease risk, chronic inflammation, histamine struggles, or anything el

Late Diagnosed ADHD Women
