Long-term oral contraceptive pills and postoperative pain management after laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometrioma: a randomized controlled trial
Open accessAbstract
Objective To evaluate postoperative long-term cyclic and continuous administration of combined oral contraceptive (OC) pills in preventing endometriosis-related pain recurrence.Design Prospective, randomized, controlled trial.Setting Tertiary care university hospital.Patient(s) Three hundred eleven women who underwent laparoscopic excision for symptomatic ovarian endometrioma.Intervention(s) Patients were randomly divided into three groups: nonuser group receiving no therapy, and cyclic user group and continuous user group receiving low-dose, monophasic OC pills for 24 months in either cyclic or continuous administration.Main outcome measure(s) Presence and intensity of dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain were assessed by a 10-point visual analogue scale (VAS) at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively.Result(s) A significant reduction in recurrence rate and VAS scores for dysmenorrhea was evident in the continuous users versus the other groups at 6 months, and in cyclic users versus nonusers at 18 months postoperatively. No significant differences in recurrence rate and VAS scores for dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain were demonstrated among the groups. The increase of VAS scores from 6-24 months during the study period for dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain was significantly higher in nonusers than in the other groups.Conclusion(s) Long-term postoperative use of OC pills can reduce the frequency and the severity of recurrent endometriosis-related dysmenorrhea.

COCs prevent and reduce the frequency and severity of recurrent dysmenorrhea and relapse of endometriosis after surgery.
“Some studies showed that COCs prevent and reduce frequency and severity of recurrent dysmenorrhea and relapse of endometriosis after surgery [252–256].”
From Hormonal treatments for endometriosis: The endocrine background (2022) · cites this paper as [253]
The Discussion reports that 24 months of postoperative OC use reduced the frequency and severity of recurrent dysmenorrhea after excision of ovarian endometrioma. It also reports a parallel trial finding fewer recurrent endometriomas with OC use, but this study did not itself measure relapse of endometriosis broadly; that part of the claim exceeds the evidence cited here. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredContinuous COC use after conservative surgery is more beneficial than cyclic use.
“The continuous use of COCs after conservative surgery is more beneficial than the cyclic use [253, 256, 257].”
From Hormonal treatments for endometriosis: The endocrine background (2022) · cites this paper as [253]
The Recurrence Rate section reports significantly less recurrent dysmenorrhea with continuous than cyclic pills after laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometrioma. The claim is broader than that finding: the paper found no significant difference for dyspareunia or chronic pelvic pain, and the Discussion reports no significant difference between regimens in endometrioma recurrence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
