Which endometrioma treatment best protects fertility?
NCT ID NCT05637073
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three common approaches for managing endometriomas (ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis): surgical removal, daily hormone therapy with dienogest, or regular ultrasound monitoring. Researchers will measure how each option affects ovarian reserve—a key marker of fertility—by tracking levels of anti-Mullerian hormone over one year. The study includes premenopausal women aged 18–39 with small to moderate-sized cysts.
