Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to severe pelvic pain, infertility, and diminished quality of life. Pain management in endometriosis is multifaceted, often requiring a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Oxycodone, a potent opioid analgesic, is frequently considered for managing severe pain when conservative treatments fail. This narrative review explores the efficacy, benefits, and challenges associated with oxycodone use in endometriosis pain management. Additionally, it examines alternative pain management strategies and provides clinical recommendations to optimize patient outcomes while mitigating potential risks.
