Has anyone taken Yselty and Tibolone for endometriosis after surgery?

Unfortunately, the available information doesn't include specific experiences from MyEndometriosisTeam members about Yselty (linzagolix) and Tibolone combination therapy. However, it's understandable to feel worried about starting hormone therapy, especially regarding cancer risks.

Regarding hormone therapy after surgery, it's worth knowing that when hormone replacement therapy is used after endometriosis surgery (particularly if ovaries are removed), it typically doesn't cause endometriosis to come back. Most doctors recommend starting hormone therapy after surgery to reduce menopause-like symptoms such as hot flashes.

Important considerations about hormone therapy risks:

It's crucial to discuss with your doctor the specific risks of any hormone replacement therapy, which may include:
- Increased risk of breast cancer
- Deep venous thrombosis (blood clots)

The good news is that hormone replacement therapy today isn't as risky as it was in the past, but you should thoroughly review your personal risk factors with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Since your endometriomas have returned quickly after surgery, hormone therapy may help slow the growth of endometrial tissue and reduce symptoms. Taking time to understand your treatment options and having open conversations with your surgeon about your concerns is really important.
