NEW TREATMENT FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS DISCOVERED

Scientists in Illinois discovered a new treatment for endometriosis.  Oxabicycloheptene sulfonate and chloroindazole were used to treat mice with endometriosis.  The mice underwent experiments that resulted in them having endometriosis. Other tests were done on endometriotic cells. Results showed that both compounds reduced endometriotic tissue, while preventing it to growth outside of the uterus. Each compound also reduced inflammation, and development of cells that promoted endometrial growth. The study has scientists and doctors optimistic.  Yet they say more tests need to be done on mice and eventually on women.
