Characteristics of Endometrioma Recurrence Patients

This descriptive retrospective study used secondary data from medical records at Clinic Aster and Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in Bandung (1 Jan 2018–31 Dec 2022) to characterize 37 patients with endometrioma recurrence, summarizing age, parity, prior lesion laterality, postoperative medication history, surgical provider type, clinical manifestations, menstrual profile, and BMI. Most patients were aged 20–35 years, none had a history of parity after the first surgical procedure, both prior and recurrent endometriomas were predominantly unilateral, and postoperative medication history was reported more frequently (54.1%). Mass was the main clinical manifestation of recurrence, while menstrual and BMI profiles appeared normal; the authors’ major limitation is that the study is based on retrospective, secondary medical-record data and provides only descriptive characterization using tables. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it examines clinical and treatment-related characteristics of ovarian endometrioma recurrence patients.
