Effect of Management of the Endometrioma on Ovarian Reserve — IMTERO  

Endometrioma Clinical Trial

Official title: Impact of the Type of Treatment of the Endometrioma on Ovarian Reserve

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Investigators aimed at comparing the impact on ovarian reserve of three usual-care management options of endometrioma, laparoscopic cystectomy (LC), hormonal treatment with daily dienogest (HT), or mere ultrasound control (UC). Ovarian reserve will be measured by the effect on the circulating levels of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). Secondary objectives will be effect on pelvic pain, other symptoms, sexual function, quality of life, progression in size of the endometrioma, impact on work productivity and activity impairment, and satisfaction with treatment. Participants will be followed by up to one year.

Clinical Trial Description

Investigators aimed at comparing the impact on ovarian reserve of three usual-care management options of endometrioma, laparoscopic cystectomy (LC), hormonal treatment with daily dienogest (HT), or mere ultrasound control (UC). Secondary objectives were the comparison of the effect on i) pelvic pain, including dysmenorrhea, non-menstrual pelvic pain, deep dyspareunia, or dyschezia, ii) other symptoms including menorrhagia, gastrointestinal symptoms different to dyschezia, or urinary symptoms; iii) quality of life as assessed by the EHP-30 questionnaire; iv) sexual functions, as assessed the female sexual function index (FSFI); v) progression in the size of the tumor in the case of the two non-surgical approaches; vi) impact on work productivity and activity impairment; vii) satisfaction in the patient. A prospective assessment will be performed on a cohort of women with endometrioma diagnosed by ultrasound from diagnosis for up to one year. The assignment to each management option will be performed under usual care conditions so that the selected option will result from the shared clinical decision of the clinician with the patient. The target population will be composed of Caucasian premenopausal women between 18-39 years with the diagnosis of endometrioma, one or more, with a diameter of up to 7 cm by endovaginal ultrasound. Body mass index comprised between 17-30 Kg/m2. Participants will be controlled at 3 months, 6 months and one year. ;
