Danazol

Danazol is a synthetic medication that primarily treats conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as endometriosis and certain types of breast disorders. It works by suppressing the production of certain hormones in the body, which helps reduce symptoms like pain and swelling. Danazol can also be used to prevent heavy menstrual bleeding and in treating hereditary angioedema, a condition that causes severe swelling. While effective for these conditions, it may have side effects, including weight gain, acne, and changes in menstrual cycles, so it is important to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider before use.
