New Endometrioma Findings from Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Described (The impact of ovarian endometrioma and endometriotic cystectomy on anti-Mullerian hormone, and antral follicle count: a contemporary critical appraisal of...).

A recent report from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology discusses the impact of ovarian endometrioma and endometriotic cystectomy on anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC), which are measures of ovarian reserve in women with ovarian endometrioma. The report found that endometriotic cystectomy, particularly the stripping technique, negatively affects ovarian reserve in the short and long term. The damage to ovarian reserve is more pronounced in bilateral cases compared to unilateral cases. The report suggests that AMH should be the preferred biomarker for counseling and managing women with endometrioma before surgery. However, further research is needed to increase the level of evidence and address remaining questions. [Extracted from the article]
