This study evaluated the efficacy of traditional versus complex treatment regimens for endometriomas in 44 women of reproductive age. Researchers found that while traditional therapy triggered initial immune activation, a comprehensive approach normalized immune homeostasis and stabilized apoptosis and proliferation processes. The complex therapy also demonstrated an antiproliferative effect on hyperplastic endometrium, leading to reduced cyst size without requiring subsequent biopsies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the management of endometrioid ovarian cysts (endometriomas) using immunomodulatory strategies.

Abstract

The wide spread of endometriosis disease, absence of the onset of a period of stable remission, high frequency of recurrence of the disease cause the existing problems of management of endometriosis. The objective: to study the effectiveness of various treatment regimens for endometriomas in patients with previously realized reproductive potential. Materials and methods. 44 women aged 17 to 49 years were examined: the first group consisted of 25 healthy nonpregnant women, the second group included 19 women, with endometriomas receiving the traditional (subgroup 2a) and complex (subgroup 2b) treatment. Results. It was revealed that in patients receiving traditional therapy, at the end of the course of treatment, the initial activation of the humoral unit of the immune system was observed, which indicated the need for immunocorrection. In patients receiving complex therapy, normalization of the body’s immune homeostasis, stabilization of the processes of apoptosis and proliferation, the main links in the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis, was noted, which indicated an improvement in the effectiveness of the treatment. The control ultrasound in the dynamics at 1 and 3 months in patients who continued to receive complex therapy, revealed a decrease in the size of pathological formation and a pronounced antiproliferative effect on the hyperplastically altered endometrium, diagnosed before the start of treatment in 21,05% of patients. After 3 months of treatment, there was no need for an endometrial biopsy in this group of patients. Conclusions. With the use of a comprehensive approach to the treatment of endometriomas normalization of the body’s immunodeficiency parameters, regression of the endometriomas and the absence of hyperplastic endometrial processes are noted, which allows to recommend this scheme for further use. Key words: endometriosis, reproductive age, immunodiagnostics, ultrasound, immunotherapy.
