How Can Dysmenorrhoea Due To Endometriosis Be Treated?

Hi Doc, I m Leah, 32 years old. I had my surgery last March 7 this year due to endometriosis on both ovaries. I had my period 7 days after the surgery. My surgeon adviced me to take ocp for 2 years to avoid having period. But since April I ve been having small amount of blood discharge which is dark brown in color which I believe to be an old blood. And last Friday I had my period until now. I had disminorrhea on the 1st and second day of my period. My question is what can I do or take to stop having periods because as we know endometriosis came from it.
