Norethindrone acetate (Aygestin) is a progestin, which is a man-made form of the natural sex hormone progesterone. It regulates the lining of your uterus (endometrium), which then helps manage your period.
In endometriosis, abnormal endometrial tissue outside your uterus acts like the normal tissue inside your uterus. This causes pain as it grows and sheds during your menstrual cycle. Since norethindrone acetate (Aygestin) regulates your endometrium, it can help ease endometriosis-related pain.
