Endometriosis remains one of the most complex gynecological diseases, requiring a comprehensive approach to treatment. Modern studies demonstrate the limited effectiveness of monotherapeutic strategies and the need to develop optimal combined regimens. The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of various combinations of hormonal and anti-inflammatory therapy in patients with confirmed endometriosis stages III-IV. In a prospective cohort study, 238 reproductive-age patients were enrolled and divided into three groups depending on the therapy received: dienogest in combination with NSAIDs, GnRH agonists with add-back therapy in combination with NSAIDs, and GnRH agonists with add-back therapy combined with aromatase inhibitors. The effectiveness of the therapy was evaluated by the dynamics of pain syndrome, quality of life, frequency of recurrences, and the occurrence of pregnancy during 24 months of follow-up. The results showed a statistically significant advantage of the third therapy regimen in terms of reducing pain intensity (reduction of 87.4% compared to 65.7% and 71.2% in the first and second groups, respectively, p<0.001), improving quality of life (increase on EQ-5D by 0.32±0.07, p<0.001), and reducing the frequency of recurrences (8.3% compared to 25.4% and 17.9%, p=0.008). The rate of spontaneous pregnancy was also higher in the third group (32.4% compared to 18.6% and 23.8%, p=0.041). The results obtained indicate the promise of using multi-component therapy regimens in patients with severe forms of endometriosis; however, further research is needed in the context of long-term safety and cost-effectiveness.
