Draining cysts plus hormones may protect fertility in endometriosis
NCT ID NCT04704115
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a treatment for large ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis (6 cm or bigger). The approach involves draining the cyst during a keyhole surgery and then using hormone therapy to lower the chance of the cyst coming back and to protect the ovaries. The goal is to see if this method reduces recurrence and preserves fertility in women of childbearing age.
