Clinical study on endometrial ovarian cyst treated by combined laparoscopy and chinese herbal medicine
Combined laparoscopy and Chinese herbal medicine showed higher cyst shrinking and disappearance rates, a better pregnancy rate, and fewer side effects than CHM alone or danazol for treating endometrial ovarian cysts.

This randomized clinical study enrolled 152 patients with endometrial ovarian cyst and compared three treatments: combined laparoscopy plus Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese herbal medicine alone, and danazol, assessing clinical efficacy, side effects, and changes in CA125, reproductive endocrine hormones, and prostaglandins. The combination group showed significantly higher cyst shrinking, disappearance, and markedly effective rates than the other two groups, and it also had a higher pregnancy rate than the danazol group, with few side effects noted as an advantage for the combination and CHM groups. After treatment, prostaglandin F1α decreased, progesterone increased, and CA125 decreased across groups, with statistical significance reported for these changes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it investigates combined laparoscopy and Chinese herbal medicine for endometrial ovarian cyst, a form of endometriosis involving ovarian lesions.
