چکیده
Endometriosis is a common disease in up to 10% of women of reproductive age. It often causes symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and dyschezia [1]. It is also associated with ovarian endometrioma which requires surgery for both diagnosis and treatment. However, recurrence rates are approximately 30-50% within 5 years after surgery [2]. Dienogest is a new synthetic oral progestin that was approved for the treatment of endometriosis [3].
