Abstract

Annotation. In order to determine modern methods of treatment of ovarian endometriomas and further develop a differentiated approach to the treatment of patients of active reproductive age with ovarian endometriomas we analyzed foreign literature from 2014-2024 using the scientometric databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. A review of the literature has identified a number of trends: sclerotherapy is currently considered a safe, minimally invasive treatment for endometrioid ovarian cysts, which is particularly effective in women of reproductive age, as the procedure has little effect on ovarian reserve. The introduction of sclerotherapy as the only method of treatment (the “gold standard”) for ovarian endometrioid cysts will maximize the preservation of the follicular reserve in patients of active reproductive age, which will significantly increase their chances of getting pregnant in the future.
