Research has shown that aromatase is also found
in high levels
in the ectopic endometrial tissue of women with
endometriosis, which contributes to the growth of their endometriosis.
Further research, has shown that inhibiting (making it less effective or ineffective) the aromatase by giving women an aromatase inhibitor suppresses the growth of their endometriosis, and reduces the associated inflammation. This, in turn, significantly reduces their pelvic pain.
