Summary
This study compared two treatments for deep endometriosis in the rectum: long-term hormones or surgery. 78 women aged 35-50 who did not plan pregnancy were randomly assigned to either 24 months of hormone therapy or rectal surgery followed by hormones. The goal was to see which approach led to better digestive function and quality of life after two years.
