Treatment of endometriosis in the presence of ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum

Abstract

In case an endometriosis patient has concomitant ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum, it is necessary to exclude oral administration of hormones. Ignoring this recommendation leads to ulcer disease exacerbation; if the stomach is affected and treatment lasts for long (years), some unpleasant oncology sequels may occur.

Thus, the patient should be treated with such parenteral drugs as Depo-Provera, OPK, Zeladex, and so on. In the patients of 30 years of age and older rectal suppositoria with Methyltestosterone 10 mg once a day beginning on the 5^th day of the menstrual cycle for 10-15 days may be used. On the 17^th, 19^th, and 21^st days of the cycle OPK 250 mg is injected I/M.

Besides, therapies aiming anti-oxidation and immunomodulation are indicated. Hyperbaric oxygenation, Ethymizole, and radon baths also have a positive impact on the treatment outcome.

Treatment for endometriosis at any age in the presence of ulcer disease may be initiated with Zeladex or Decapeptyl lucrine during 6 months.

Should ulcer disease (stomach ulcer) repeatedly relapse, a decision on further treatment for endometriosis may be reviewed in favor of the surgical intervention.
