OBJECTIVES: Low dose oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) that contain synthetic estrogen and progestin are often used to relieve chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of drospirenone/ethinylestradiol (DRSP/EE) with low-dose estrogen in treating endometrioma.
STUDY DESIGN: A prospective clinical study in six hospitals and one clinic in Japan was conducted. Forty-nine 23- to 45-year-old patients who suffered from endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhea were included in the study. The primary endpoint was the change in size of ovarian endometrioma as measured by transvaginal ultrasonography. The secondary endpoint was the change in dysmenorrhea as evaluated by VAS (visual analog scale) scores before treatment and at 3 and 6 cycles of treatment. In addition, serum CA125, anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 were evaluated after 6 cycles of treatment.
RESULTS: The maximum diameter and volume of the ovarian endometrioma significantly decreased after 3 and 6 cycles compared with pretreatment. VAS scores of dysmenorrhea pain were also reduced after 1, 3 and 6 cycles. A significant correlation between the reduced size of the endometrioma and the decline of VAS scores was found. The levels of serum CA125 and AMH concentration were decreased after 6 cycles. No significant changes were observed in serum IL-6 and IL-8.
CONCLUSION: Low dose DRSP/EE therapy is a promising treatment not only to reduce the size of endometrioma but also for dysmenorrhea.
