This review article synthesizes evidence on conservative hormonal treatment of endometriosis in women of reproductive age, focusing on mechanisms of action of hormonal therapies on endometriotic lesions and on comparative data across national Russian and international guidelines. It summarizes how combined oral contraceptives and progestogens are used for long-term suppression, comparing effectiveness, safety, side effects, quality-of-life effects, and recurrence rates across progestin monotherapies and progestin–estrogen combinations with different dosing regimens, drawing on systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized clinical trials. The main limitation is that the paper is a narrative/structured review based on heterogeneous existing studies and guideline evidence rather than reporting new original clinical outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews how to choose hormonal therapy (combined oral contraceptives and progestogens) for long-term suppression in reproductive-age women.

Abstract

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases associated with severe pelvic pain, uterine bleeding, and infertility. Current treatment patterns include endometriosis excision and medical management. Since endometriosis is a chronic disease with a recurrent clinical course, the crucial role holds a long-term suppressive therapy. It should be characterized by high efficacy, tolerability, a favorable safety profile, as well providing sustained remission and improving the quality of life. The current review summarizes the modern data on conservative management, mechanisms of hormonal therapeutic effects. The national recommendations of Russian and international obstetrics and gynecology societies were analyzed, taking into account the results of systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomized clinical trials. Combined oral contraceptives and progestogens are considered as first-line hormone therapy. Choosing the proper medication is a controversial issue that requires a comprehensive understanding of its effect on various forms of endometriosis. The review analyzes comparative data on the effectiveness, safety, side effects, impact on the quality of life, the frequency of relapse during various progestogens monotherapy and oral contraceptives, including different dosage regimens. This data allows making an optimal choice of long-term management, with high compliance and efficiency, associated with low recurrence rate.

Тактика выбора гормональной терапии при эндометриозе у пациенток репродуктивного возраста https://doi.org/10.21518/ms2022-001 Аннотация Эндометриоз – одно из наиболее распространенных гинекологических заболеваний, ассоциированных с болевым синдромом, кровотечениями и снижением фертильности. Существующие методы лечения включают хирургическое удаление эндометриоидных гетеротопий и медикаментозную терапию. Эндометриоз является хроническим заболеванием, для которого характерно рецидивирующее течение. Вследствие этого ключевую роль в ведении пациенток играет выбор долгосрочной супрессивной терапии, обладающей высокой эффективностью, переносимостью, благоприятным профилем безопасности, а также способной обеспечить стойкую ремиссию и улучшение качества жизни. В представленном обзоре проведено обобщение имеющихся данных о существующих методах консервативного лечения пациенток, механизмах терапевтического влияния гормональной терапии на эндометриоидные очаги. Проанализированы национальные рекомендации российских и международных сообществ по акушерству и гинекологии по ведению пациенток с эндометриозом в репродуктивном периоде с учетом результатов систематических обзоров, метаанализов и рандомизированных клинических исследований. Традиционно одним из основных методов гормональной терапии является применение комбинированных оральных контрацептивов и прогестагенов, выбор которых является наиболее дискуссионным вопросом и требует четкого представления об их влиянии на различные формы эндометриоза. В обзоре проанализированы сравнительные данные об эффективности, безопасности, побочных эффектах, влиянии на качество жизни, частоте рецидивирования при монотерапии различными прогестагенами и их комбинациями с эстрогенами, в т. ч. с учетом различного режима дозирования. Представленные сведения позволяют сделать оптимальный выбор тактики ведения в долгосрочной перспективе с высокой степенью приверженности пациенток к терапии, а значит, высокой эффективностью и низкой частотой рецидивирования.
