Benign ovarian cysts are frequent during women's life. They are diagnosed with pelvic pain or fortuitously during an ultra-sonographic exam. In case of persistence,a surgery will be necessary to identify the nature of the cyst and assess its benignity. In some case, cysts are recurrent and multiple surgeries are needed leading to a significant risk of ovarian damage by follicular depletion. Oocyte cryopreservation is no longer considered as an experimental technique of Fertility Preservation since 2013 as it has been recognized to be efficient and safe. According to reproductive medicine scientific committees and the French ethic law, fertility preservation has to be proposed in every situation of infertility risk. To date, there is no cohort study dedicated to fertility preservation by oocyte freezing in this specific subgroup of patients. The purpose of the study is to prospectively evaluate the oocyte number and quality after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in patients with recurrent ovarian cysts.
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.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic disease, characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. According to the most updated guidelines of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), infertile women with endometriomas smaller than 3 cm should be addressed directly to Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART); conversely, for infertile women with endometriomas larger than 3 cm, enucleation of ovarian endometriomas could be considered in order to improve reproductive outcomes (both spontaneous and ART pregnancy rate). To date, literature data do not allow to draw a firm conclusion about the best strategy to reduce ovarian damage during enucleation of ovarian endometriomas: in particular, investigators still lack robust evidence in order to choose between suturing the ovary or not after the enucleation. In this scenario, the aim of our the study will be to compare functional outcomes of the ovary in a group of women undergoing suturing of the ovarian cortex after laparoscopic enucleation of endometriomas (cases) and a group of women undergoing laparoscopic enucleation of endometriomas without subsequent suture of the ovarian cortex.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to look at the effectiveness of prescribing yoga classes to patients with dysmenorrhea (irregular or painful periods), or other menstrual disorders on patients' self reported pain and quality of life. Patients will be recruited from primary care clinics around Illinois, including Carle Hospital. This is a randomized trial in which patients will first be randomized into the control or intervention group. Patients in the control group will undergo usual care and be surveyed at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. Patients in the control group will be offered the 3 months of yoga therapy complimentary after completing the 9 month control. Control patients who choose to participate in the yoga therapy will be asked to also complete the surveys at the end of the 3 month yoga intervention. Patients in the intervention group will first undergo 3 months of regular care and then 3 months of biweekly yoga classes. Participants will complete surveys at baseline, 3 months (after of control care), 6 months (after 3 months of biweekly yoga classes), 9 months, and 12 months (after 6 months of observation and optional yoga practice).
women candidate for ICSI and having ovarian endometrioma smaller than 5 cm will be randomized to either transvaginal aspiration alone or transvaginal aspiration follwed by injection of small parts of oxidized regenerated cellulose within the cyst cavity during the cycle that preceded the induction cycle of ICSI
In two double blinded randomized controlled trials (RCT) we will study the effect of pain reduction of melatonin vs placebo in women with severe dysmenorrhea and women with endometriosis.The aim is to find an effective method for pelvic pain caused by dysmenorrhea and endometriosis.The primary outcome is reduction of pain in patients with dysmenorrhea and endometriosis respectively when treated with melatonin vs placebo. Secondary outcomes include the effect on daily life, quality of life and cognition. Sleep will also be assessed to evaluate its potential relation to quality of life and cognition.
Endometriosis on the bowel is a benign condition that can cause major complaints and severely affect the quality of life of women of fertile age. If medical treatment is not enough to improve pain and/or other symptoms it may be necessary to undergo major surgical treatment and removal of the endometriosis nodule on the bowel. Such extensive surgical treatment carries risks of serious complications. Therefore, a thorough diagnostic work-up before surgery is important to know the extent of disease. This will provide women with the best possible information and for the surgeon to plan the operation. The risk of complications increases as the bowel endometriosis is localized closer to the anus as well and/or if the bowel nodule is large. The distance between the anus and the nodule and the size of the nodule can be measured with two dimensional (2D) vaginal ultrasound. Additionally, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also used in some countries for these same measurements. Our study would like to investigate the diagnostic value of 2D ultrasound and MRI as well as learn more about women's quality of life before and after surgery. The investigators have designed the study to evaluate the following three questions into three studies ENDO1, ENDO2 and ENDO3: - ENDO1: How good is 2D transvaginal ultrasound at measuring the size of the bowel endometriosis nodule and the distance between anus and the lower part of the bowel nodule compared to measurements done during surgery? - ENDO2: What is the quality of life, sexual and bowel function of women before and 3- and 12-months after surgery due to bowel endometriosis? Questionnaires will be used. - ENDO3: How good is 2D transvaginal ultrasound at measuring the size of the bowel endometriosis nodule compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and measurements done during surgery?
Endometriosis (including adenomyosis) is one of the most common gynecological diseases among women of childbearing age. Common symptoms such as menstrual pain, excessive menstrual flow, infertility, chronic lower abdominal pain, and painful intercourse. According to the literature statistics, the prevalence of endometriosis in women of childbearing age is about 10-20%, while the prevalence of adenomyosis is about 5%. Traditional medical treatments include hormones (danazol, gestrinone, oral lutein). Oral contraceptive, there is a Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist in the injection form, and a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system in the intrauterine administration system. The choice of drugs has many influencing factors, such as the severity of endometriosis in patients (according to the classification of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine), the need for fertility, the convenience of drug use, and the patient's tolerance to drug side effects. Surgery is also one of the treatment options for endometriosis and adenomyosis, including traditional open or minimally invasive endoscopic ovarian cyst resection, oophorectomy, and lesion resection; adenomyosis surgery includes traditional methods Open abdominal, transvaginal or minimally invasive endoscopic hysterectomy, conservative uterine sparing adenomyomectomy and cytoreduction surgery (partial adenomyomectomy). For endometriosis, the common treatment consensus of obstetricians and gynecologists is to follow the surgical treatment of the lesions and then follow-up medication. For women with adenomyosis, if they have completed the birth, it is recommended to have a total hysterectomy, so that there is no recurrence. The possibility. However, for women who have not completed birth, conservative uterine preservation surgery is performed. According to research statistics, endometriosis or adenomyosis does not receive follow-up medical treatment after completion of surgical treatment, there is a high probability of recurrence, but the side effects caused by drugs will also affect the patient's compliance with medication.The Department of Women's Medicine of the hospital has a wealth of experience in the treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis. Each year, about 500 cases of endometriosis (including adenomyosis) are performed. This study was designed to analyze the differences in prognosis and recurrence of patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis after receiving various surgical and medical treatments.
Follow-up of treatment outcome, quality of life, sexual life and partnership after surgery of endometriosis by means of a questionnaire 1 year after surgical Intervention.
