Prevention of Recurrence of Genital Endometriosis in the Postpartum Period
Daily use of desogestrel (Lactinette) for 12 months postpartum effectively prevents endometriosis recurrence and new foci without negatively impacting lactation.

The study examined 60 postpartum women who had clinically significant genital endometriosis during pregnancy and assessed a postpartum prevention strategy for recurrence. In 30 women, recurrence was prevented using the progestin contraceptive Laktinet containing 75 mg desogestrel taken daily for 12 months, including in breastfeeding. The paper reports that daily use provided effective contraception, maintained long-term anovulation without negative effects on lactation, and prevented recurrence and development of new endometriosis foci, while avoiding the need for hormonal drugs with high progestagen content. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on preventing recurrence of genital endometriosis in the postpartum period using desogestrel-based contraception.
