Ver más It has been estimated that 2-10% of women suffer from endometriosis, a benign inflammatory disease due to the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. The most common type of endometriosis is characterized by the formation of ovarian cysts or endometriomas. Pelvic pain is the main symptom of this condition, which has a negative impact on the quality of life and sexual function of women. Therefore, the medical and/or surgical treatment of this disease is mainly aimed at relieving pain in order to improve quality of life. This study is based on the hypothesis that therapeutic approach to endometriomas helps to improve pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea, non-menstrual pelvic pain, deep dyspareunia, dyschezia…) and, in this way, improves patients´ quality of life. OBJECTIVES To assess in our setting, the effect of medical treatment of ovarian endometriomas on pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea, non-menstrual pelvic pain, deep dyspareunia, dyschezia, etc.). As secondary objectives, the effect of treatment on quality of life and female sexual function will also be evaluated. STUDY DESIGN An open longitudinal observational study was designed and started on 01/09/2022 with a follow-up period of 6 months. The study included naïve patients in order to evaluate any changes without interference from other pathologies or previous history that could influence the evolution of the disease. Two pain scales were used, one general (Numeric Rating Scale -NRS-) and one specific (Visual Analogue Scale -VAA-); two quality of life scales, one general (SF-12 health questionnaire) and one specific for endometriosis (Endometriosis Health Profile -EHP-30+23- and its short version -EHP-5-); and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scale to measure sexual function. All variables were evaluated as the rate of change between the status at each control and the patient's initial status, in order to reduce the impact of non-randomization. RESULTS A sample of 7 patients was obtained, of which 4 received treatment and 3 remained untreated. Only one patient completed the 6-month follow-up. On the NRS pain scale the treatment group went from a value of 78.75±25.23 to 40±34.64 at 3 months, while the untreated patients changed from 73.33±23.10 to 46.67±15.27. In VAS the treatment group went from a value of 55±8.66 to 40 at 6 months, while untreated patients changed from 52.5±24.75 to 50 at 3 months. On the SF-12 quality of life scale, the treatment group went from 51.07±3.22 to 47.61 at 6 months, while untreated patients went from 43.74±4.63 to 49.84 at 3 months. In the EHP-30+23 scale, the treatment group went from a value of 20.47±30.25 to 25 at 6 months, while untreated patients changed from 31.96±12.25 to 20.16 at 3 months. In the short version EHP-5 the treatment group went from a value of 46.67±21.21 to 35 at 6 months, while untreated patients went from 38.33±5.77 to 45 at 3 months. Finally, on the FSFI sexual function scale, the treatment group went from a value of 82.04±5.56 to 42.5 at 6 months, while untreated patients went from 78.31±11.27 to 88.61 at 3 months. No statistically significant differences were observed between treated and untreated patients in any of the scales and medical controls. CONCLUSIONS Medical treatment of endometriomas seems to be effective in improving the pain level of patients, especially pelvic pain. The quality of life of patients under treatment also seems to improve, especially when it is evaluated with specific scales such as the EHP-5. Female sexual function, however, seems to worsen in the medically treated group.
