To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yiweining (YWN) and gestrinone (GT) in treating post-operational patients of stage III endometriosis (EM-III).
Fifty-two patients of EM-III after operation were randomly assigned into three groups, the YWN group (20 patients) was treated through oral intake of YWN 200 ml, twice a day; the GT group (19 patients) treated with gestrinone 2.5 mg, twice every week, with the medication starting from the 7th post-operational day and lasting for 6 months. The control group (13 patients) was untreated. Six months was one therapeutic course, and follow-up study was carried out in the 6 - 30 months after the end of the medication.
The recurrence rate in the YWN group and the GT group were 5.0% and 5.3% respectively, showing insignificant difference between the two groups, but they were lower than that in the control group (30.7%, P < 0.05). Besides, the adverse reaction rate in the YWN group was lower than that in the GT group (10.0% vs 31.6%, P < 0.05).
Application of YWN to prevent the post-operational recurrence of endometriosis is effective and safe, and its efficacy is similar to that of GT.
观察益维宁(YWN)与孕三烯酮(GT)治疗Ⅲ期子宫内膜异位症(EM-Ⅲ)术后患者的临床疗效及安全性。
将52例EM-Ⅲ术后患者随机分为三组,YWN组(20例)口服益维宁200 ml,每日2次;GT组(19例)服用孕三烯酮2.5 mg,每周2次,于术后第7天开始用药,持续6个月。对照组(13例)未接受治疗。6个月为1个疗程,停药后6 - 30个月进行随访研究。
YWN组和GT组的复发率分别为5.0%和5.3%,两组间差异无统计学意义,但均低于对照组(30.7%,P < 0.05)。此外,YWN组的不良反应发生率低于GT组(10.0%比31.6%,P < 0.05)。
应用益维宁预防子宫内膜异位症术后复发有效、安全,其疗效与孕三烯酮相似。
