ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze the efficacy of dienogest combined with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs) and its influence on pregnancy and recurrence.

Methods:

A total of177 patients with EMs admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Chinese Medicine and Linyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2018 to June 2019 were divided into the observation group (88 cases) and the control group (89 cases) according to the random number table method. The control group was treated with dienogest 25 mg once a day, and the observation group was treated with dienogest combined with TCM decoction. They all were treated for 6 months. The clinical efficacy, pregnancy and recurrence of the two groups were compared, and EMs health profile-5 (EHP- 5) of the Chinese version was used to evaluate patientsquality of life of the two groups.

Results:

The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group 92.04%(81/88) vs. 79.78%(71/89), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.492, P<0.05). The time of ovulation recovery and menstrual recovery in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (13.38 ± 3.60) d vs. (14.69 ± 3.15) d, (26.48 ± 4.23) d vs. (28.72 ± 3.40) d, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the 1-year pregnancy rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). The 1-year recurrence rate in the observation group was lower than in the control group 1.14%(1/88) vs. 10.11%(9/89), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The scores of pain, emotional state, sense of control, sexual life, doctor-patient relationship , infertility, and treatment effect in EHP-5 in the observation group after the treatment were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05).

Conclusions:

Compared with dienogest treatment alone, the combination of TCM treatment can further improve the efficacy. It is beneficial to pregnancy. It can reduce the recurrence rate, improve the quality of life more significantly, and has great safety.
