Peculiarities of the course of genital endometriosis and its recurrence in women of reproductive age
This study compared standard treatment with an improved diagnostic and treatment approach for ovarian endometriosis, finding significantly lower recurrence rates and improved pregnancy outcomes in the improved treatment group.

The study evaluated a diagnostic and postoperative treatment algorithm to reduce recurrence and improve reproductive outcomes in women of reproductive age with ovarian genital endometriosis, comparing a retrospective group (n=60) and a prospective group (n=60). All participants underwent clinical/laboratory and ultrasound assessment, with surgery and histologic examination; the prospective group additionally received tumor marker testing (including CA-125, HE4, and others), AMH measurement, and MRI, and after surgery received anti-inflammatory therapy plus hormonal regimens using GnRH agonists and either combined oral contraceptives or combined use followed by dienogest for 6 months in continuous mode. Recurrence of ovarian endometriosis occurred in 8.3% at 3 months and 18.3% at 6 months in the retrospective group versus 0% at 3 months and 1.7% at 6 months in the prospective group, with no pelvic adhesions reported in the prospective group; pregnancy rates among those with infertility desire were higher in the prospective group (16.7% vs 3.3%). The paper’s limitation, stated implicitly by design, is that comparisons rely on retrospective versus prospective cohorts rather than a single randomized approach. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it analyzes the course and postoperative recurrence of ovarian genital endometriosis and how an enhanced diagnostic and hormonal strategy relates to reduced recurrence and improved fertility outcomes.
