Endometrioma Ethanol Sclerotherapy and Its Effect on Ovarian Function and Fertility Treatment Outcome - Prospective Cohort Study Protocol

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Ovarian endometriomas are cystic masses lined with endometrial tissue that contains fluid arising from a collection of menstrual debris. Ovarian endometriomas clinical manifestations includes pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and infertility. Endometriomas are most commonly treated either medically or by surgical excision. Ultrasonography (US)-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy is a new approach. Its mechanism of action is believed to be destruction of the inner epithelial lining, which is followed by inflammation and fibrosis, eventually resulting in regression of the cyst. The main advantage in this approach is the avoidance of collateral damage to the ovary.
