Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
Thanks for posting your query. I am happy to address your questions. Danazole has side effect of weight gain, acne, flushing, sweating, voice changes (hoarseness, change in pitch), abnormal growth of body hair (in women), vaginal dryness/irritation, or decreased breast size may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor promptly. Yes, this medication is used to treat pelvic pain and infertility due to a certain uterus disorder (endometriosis) and also to treat breast pain/tenderness/nodules due to a certain breast condition (fibrocystic breast disease). Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help. Thanks
