When cells were treated with dichloroacetate, in the lab and in mouse experiments, lactate production decreased to normal levels and the size of the endometriosis lesions was reduced. The participants will complete a series of questionnaires and give blood samples over the course of two-and-a-half years, to determine whether the treatment is effective for relieving pain and other symptoms.
