Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between the clinic-pathological features and pain symptoms in patients with endometriotic cyst(EM).Methods The medical data of symptoms,laparoscopy and pathology examination in 416 patients with endometriosis were studied retrospectively.All cases were divided into two groups on the existence of ovarian endometrioma,including 338 patients in cyst group and 78 cases in non-cyst group.The relationship between clinical symptoms and location and type of endometrioma was studied.Results(1)Serum CA125 level:the level of CA125 were(61 ± 39)kU/L in cyst group(28 ± 24)kU/L in non-cyst group,which reached statistical difference(P < 0.01).(2)Pathological features:among 338 cases,34.0% of cyst were on left side(115/338),26.3% were right side(89/338),and 39.6% were on both side(134/338).And 95.8%(324/338)of cases were combined with the other type of endometriosis,which were 48.5%(164/338)with peritoneal endometriosis,47.3%(160/338)with deep infiltrating endometriosis(DIE).In cystic patients,the incidences of endometriosis lesion were 13.9%(47/338)on the uterine surface,38.5%(130/338)on obstruction of cul-de sac,40.5% (137/338)on utero-sacral ligament of DIE,which were significantly higher than 5.1%,(4/78),9.0% (7/78)and 28.2%(22/78)in noncyst group.(3)Pain symptom:the incidence and degree of dysmenorrhea and dyschezia had no statistical difference between two groups(P > 0.05),and the incidence of chronic pelvic pain(CPP)of 24.6%(83/338)and dyspareunia of 29.9%(101/338)in the cyst group were significantly lower than 35.9%(28/78)and 44.9%(35/78)in non-cyst group(P < 0.05).The incidence of dysmenorrheal was 85.1%(114/134)in cases with bilateral cyst,which was higher than 74.0%(151/204)in cases with single cyst.The incidence of dysmenorrheal and dyschezia in moderatesevere adhesion was 89.0%(138/155)and 18.7%(29/155),which was significantly higher than 68.8% (126/183)and 8.2%(15/183)in mild adhesion.In the patients cyst existed with DIE,the risk of dysmenorrheal,CPP,dyspareunia,and dyschezia were obviously raised(OR respectively was 5.17,3.01,3.05,2.75).Conclusions The endometriotic cyst often co-exists with other type of endometriotic lesions.Ovarian endometrioma was associated with lesion localized on uterine surface,cul-de-sac,sacrum ligament.The risk of all the pain symptoms would be raised when the endometriotic cyst co-exit with the DIE lesions.So the treatment for DIE lesions was as same important as the endometriotic lesions in order to relieve pain symptoms and delay the relapse.
