A clinical study investigated a comprehensive treatment for endometriosis including radon tampons, reporting significant reductions in pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, menstrual bleeding, and high rates of pregnancy and remission.

This paper studies women of reproductive age with diagnosed genital endometriosis (AFS stage I–III) to evaluate a complex treatment regimen that combines individualized antibiotics for suspected chronic endometritis, short courses of anti-inflammatory drugs, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists for 3–6 months, and 20 days of radon tampon aftercare; the study was randomized, single-center, prospective, non-blinded, and included 348 participants treated in a sanatorium from 2014–2018. Primary and final efficacy outcomes were changes in mean daily pelvic pain (cyclic and non-cyclic combined) relative to baseline during radon tampon treatment, with recurrence assessed by transvaginal ultrasound. The authors report safety monitoring via clinical assessment of adverse events and standard laboratory and vital-sign measures, but they explicitly note limitations consistent with non-blinding and a single-center design (and the paper’s excerpt does not provide the full comparative outcomes). Relevance to endometriosis: the study’s central intervention explicitly uses radon tampon sanatorium therapy as part of combined management of endometriosis I–III, with pain, dyspareunia/dysmenorrhea, bleeding volume, and recurrence outcomes tracked in this endometriosis cohort.
