Lidocaine for Endometriosis Pain Relief: What the Research Shows

When doctors talk about Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks nerve signals to reduce pain, they’re usually referring to a drug used in minor surgeries or dental work. Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing severe pelvic pain, infertility, and fatigue. Both terms have popped up together in recent research because many patients still struggle to find lasting relief from standard hormonal or surgical approaches. This article unpacks what we know about using lidocaine to ease endometriosis‑related pain, examines the science behind it, and offers a practical checklist for anyone considering this off‑label option.
