Endometriosis is a common problem and probably begins about the time that regular menstruation begins. The Depo-subQ Provera 104 injection has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help treat the pain associated with endometriosis. Other hormonal contraceptives may be helpful as well. Hormonal contraceptives contain either progestin, estrogen, or both.

Honor’s range can get a little confusing especially when you include Huawei, the firm’s parent company, devices into the mix. So the Honor 9 Lite sounds like a cut-down version of the excellent Honor 9 and while it is to some extent, it’s also a sort of mini or light edition of the Honor View 10 because of its 18:9 screen....
