Abstract:

Objective To explore the efficacy of gestrinone combined with leuprolide in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs) and its effects on sex hormones, inflammatory indicators and peripheral blood carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), endometrial antibody (EMAb) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Methods 120 patients with EMs admitted to our hospital from November 2019 to November 2022 were selected. All patients were divided into control group and study group according to the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. Control group was treated with gestrinone, and study group was additionally given leuprolide on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy after 6 months of treatment, sex hormones indicators [estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)], inflammatory indicators [interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), hypersensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)] and serum-related indicators (CA125, EMAb, AMH) before treatment and after 6 months of treatment were compared between the two groups, and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions during medication. Results After 6 months of treatment, the total effective rate of treatment in study group was significantly higher than that in control group (91.67% vs. 76.67%) (P < 0.05). After 6 months of treatment, the levels of E2, LH, FSH, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, hs-CRP, CA125 and EMAb in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment while the level of AMH was increased (P < 0.05), and the above indexes in study group were significantly different from those in control group during the same period (P < 0.05). During 6 months of medication, there were no differences in the incidence rates of adverse drug reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Gestrinone combined with leuprolide has a significant effect in the treatment of patients with endometriosis, and it can significantly improve the endocrine, relieve inflammatory response and improve serum-related indicators, and it has high safety and good application value.
