  1. Endometriosis

  2. Incidence • 6-10% of reproductive age women • Present in up to 75% of patients with chronic pelvic pain • Present in 40% of women with infertility • FH of 1st degree relative increases risk 10 fold • Etiology

  3. Manifestations • Dysmenorrhea • Chronic pelvic pain • Dysparunia • Uterosacral nodularity • Adenexal mass • Infertility

  4. Diagnosis • Laparoscopy is only definite diagnostic test • Confirmed 80% of the time if clinically suspected • Appropriate to treat with only a clinical diagnosis

  5. Surgical Treatment • Hysterectomy with BSO has a failure rate of 5% • Hysterectomy w/o BSO has a 2/3 recurrence rate and 1/3 rate of repeat surgery • Laparoscopic conservative surgery shows 60% improvement in pain and 40%recurrence with in 2 years • Not clear if fertility improved by surgery

  6. Medical Treatment • First line is OCPs either cyclic or continuous with or without NSAIDS • Second line is • Depo Provera 150mg x 3 mon • GNRH agonists with or with out add back • Danazol 400-600mg/d x 3-6 mon

  7. GNRH agonists • Leuproline (Lupron) IM 3.75-7.5mg/m or 11.25mg/3m for 3-6 month

  8. Add Back Therapy • Purpose is relieve hotflashes and limit bone loss • Start after 0-3 months of GNRH agonist therapy • No difference in effectiveness of treatment for endometriosis • Use any form of HRT (estrogen + progestin) in lowest dose to control hotflashes

  9. Treatment Flow Sheet

  10. Miscellaneous Topics • Value of treatment in improving fertility in mild disease is not established • Combination surgery followed by medical therapy (OCP or Depoprovera) results in best pain relief • Ovarian endometriomas should be managed surgically • Mirena, continuous OCP, Depoprovera
