New approaches to the treatment of endometriosis

New approaches to the treatment of endometriosis DOI: https://doi.org/10.18370/2309-4117.2013.11.36-42Keywords: endometriosis, L-arginine, TivortinAbstract The results of the study that involving 64 women with endometriosis have shown that the use in the treatment of L-arginine (the drug Tivortin) has a direct impact on the underlying factors that play role in the development and progression of endometriosis. It makes the use of non-hormonal drug promising in treatment of endometriosis andhas an important role in the prevention of its recurrence.References - Eskenazi B, Warner MLE pidemiology of endometriosis // ObstetGynecolClin North Am. – 1997. – 24: 235–58. - Johnson N, Hummelshoj L Consensus on current management of endometriosis // Human Reproduction. – 2013. –Vol. 0. – N. 0. – Р. 1–17. - Ziegler D, Borghese B Endometriosis and infertility: pathophysiology and management Review Article // The Lancet. – 2010. – Vol. 376.
