Abstract: Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects and safety of endocrine response of gonadotropin(hormone)- releasing hormone-analogue (GnRHa) combined with conjugated estrogen (CEE) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in the treatment of advanced endometriosis after laparoscopic operation. Methods: Ninety-six cases of endometriosis after laparoscopic. Patients were randomly divided into three groups, single-agent group(33 cases): in postoperative subcutaneous injection of triptorelin 3.75 mg, once every 4 weeks for 6 times; anti-plus group(32 cases): after subcutaneous injection of triptorelinin 3.75 mg, once every 4 weeks for 6 times, since the fourth injection, we add conjugated estrogens 0.625 mg/d with medroxyprogesterone acetate 5 mg/d for 3 months; the control group (31 cases) without drug treatment. Results: Complete remission rate of clinical symptoms in single-agent group and add-back group was 90.9% and 93.8% respectively, significantly higher than 48.4% in control group(P <0.01);cumulative relapse rates in single-agent group and add-back group were 3.0% and 6.2%,significantly lower than 33.3% in the control group(P <0.01);the serum E2,FSH,LH concentration in single-agent group after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment(P <0.01). Conclusions: GnRHa combined with conjugated estrogen and medroxyprogesterone acetate is safe and effective in the control of low estrogen symptoms, reduce bone turnover, etc. Add-back therapy can reduce the side effects of GnRHa with unaffectting its efficacy.
