Late proliferative phase endometrial stromal cells grown in short-term culture were used as a model for the stromal component of endometriotic implants. Cells were grown in medium alone and in medium supplemented by 5, 10, and 20% concentra…
Treatment of endometriosis with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) is associated with side effects secondary to the induced hypoestrogenic state. In an effort to ameliorate these symptoms, 10 patients with symptomatic endometr…
