Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Progesterone resistance in endometriosis is a known fact. The progestin derivatives used in endometriosis cause decidualization and atrophy of ectopic foci. Moreover, they inhibit neo-angiogenesis, provide suppress expansile/destructive growth facilitated by matrix metalloproteinases, and implantation of ectopic foci. The effect of drugs containing the estrogen-progesterone combination is mainly based on the inhibition of ovulation, decidualization and atrophy of ectopic foci. In estrogen-progesterone mechanism, it is known that estrogen has a progesterone receptor-enhancing effect, which may make progesterone more potent. Based on this, the investigators hypothesized that estrogen added to progesterone could lead to a further reduction in endometrioma size by various mechanisms which probably include the increased progesterone sensitivity in endometriosis. In addition, the investigators hypothesized that this therapy can alleviate the destructive effect of endometriomas on the ovarian reserve.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Study Group (patients with OMA)

I) Untreated patients (n=142) II) Dienogest (n=142) III) Dienogest/Estradiol valerate+Dienogest (n=142)

Drug: Estradiol valerate/dienogest
The effects of drugs given for endometrioma and contraception will be observed on ovarian reserve, endometrioma size and pain score.
Other Names:
  • Dienogest
  • Sham Comparator: Control Group(patients without OMA)

    I) Untreated patients (n=142) II) Dienogest/Estradiol valerate+Dienogest (n=142)

    Drug: Estradiol valerate/dienogest
    The effects of drugs given for endometrioma and contraception will be observed on ovarian reserve, endometrioma size and pain score.
    Other Names:
  • Dienogest
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Ovarian reserve [up to 24 months]

      The investigators evaluate serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level(ng/mL) using commercial elisa kits and antral follicle count (number) using ultrasonography. The patients with higher ovarian reserve represent a better outcome.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Endometrioma Size [up to 24 months]

      The investigators evaluate endometrioma size (centimeter) using ultrasonography.

    2. Pain Score [up to 24 months]

      Vas score (minimum score:0 and maximum score:10). The patients with lower pain scores represent a better outcome.
