Abstract

(Abstracted from Am J Obstet Gynecol 2016;214:203–211) Up to 44% of patients with endometriosis have endometriomas that are usually associated with pelvic pain and infertility. The first-line option for endometriosis-associated pain symptoms is usually medical therapy with oral contraceptives (OCs) and progestins.
