ASSESSMENT OF EFFICIENCY OF ANTI-RELAPSE THERAPY WITH DIENOGEST AFTER SURGERY TREATMENT OF WOMEN WITH COLORECTAL ENDOMETRIOSIS
This study found that long-term dienogest monotherapy effectively prevented relapses of colorectal endometriosis after surgery, with good tolerability, though pregnancy rates were highest with shorter hormone therapy durations.

This retrospective study evaluated reproductive outcomes and endometriosis recurrence in 51 women who underwent surgical treatment for colorectal endometriosis between 2014 and 2016, comparing postoperative strategies: dienogest 2 mg/day monotherapy, dienogest 2 mg plus ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg combined oral contraception, or no hormonal therapy, with follow-up ranging from 12 to 48 months. No differences were found in the overall rate of pregnancy between groups, and most pregnancies (92.3%) occurred within the first year after surgery, suggesting possible influence of hormone-therapy duration on pregnancy likelihood. The lowest number of recurrences was reported in the group receiving long-term dienogest monotherapy, while that group also experienced more side effects, generally not causing substantial discomfort. The paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically postoperative anti-relapse therapy with dienogest after surgery for colorectal endometriosis.
