EFFICIENCY OF MEDICATION THERAPY IN THE COMPLEX TREATMENT OF ENDOMETRIOSIS: RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF DATA
This retrospective study analyzed the hormonal treatment of 200 women with endometriosis, finding that hormonal therapy is integral, with dienogest and COCs being common options before or after surgery.

The study retrospectively analyzed 200 women with external genital endometriosis who underwent examination, treatment, and surgical intervention between 2017 and 2019, aiming to characterize medication therapy according to reproductive plans and the main complaint at presentation. Participants were divided into those who had used hormonal therapy before seeking care (47%; mainly dienogest, either alone or with combined oral contraceptives) versus those who had not. The authors report that hormonal treatment was used by a much higher proportion of women at the later post-surgical period compared with pre-surgical: 78.3% versus 14.9% in the comparison, with p<0.001. A key limitation is that the design is retrospective and focuses on patterns around surgical care rather than controlled assessment of medication outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically evaluates how hormonal medication (particularly dienogest-based regimens) is used in the complex treatment trajectory of women with external genital endometriosis.
