Endometriyal Hiperplazilerin Tedavisinde Vajinal Progestoron Jelin Etkinliği

Amaç: Endometriyal hiperplazilerin tedavisinde vajinal progesteron jelin etkinliğinin araştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Jinekoloji polikliniğimize düzensiz adet kanaması şikayetiyle başvuran ve endometriyal biyopsi ile basit atipisiz endometriyal hiperplazi tespit edilmiş12 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Grup 1 (n=6) vajinal progesteron jel ( % 8 Crinone vajinal jel, Serono Pharmaceuticals, Türkiye) adetin 15-25. günleri arasın günde bir, Gurup 2 (n=6) ise Dydrogesteron ( Duphaston 10 mg tb tablet, Solvay ilaç, Türkiye) oral yoldan adetin 15-25. günleri arası günde 2 kez 3 ay aldı. Her iki gruptaki hastaların tedavi öncesi ve sonrası endometriyal patolojileri, endometriyal kalınlıkları, kan lipid profili ve uterin arter rezistans indeksleri karşılaştırıldı. İstatistikler SPSS 10.0 programında, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test ve Mann-Whitney U testleri kullanılarak yapıldı. P<0,05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Gurup 1’de endometriyal hiperplazi olguların 4’ünde (%66,6) iyileşirken, Gurup 2’de hastaların 5’inde (%83.3) iyileşti. Her iki gurup lipid profili açısından anlamlı bir farklılık göstermedi. Her iki gurubun endometriyal kalınlıkları tedavi sonrasında anlamlı ölçüde azaldı (p<0,05). Uterin arter rezistans indeksi ise Gurup 2’de tedavi öncesi ve sonrasında farklı değilken, Gurup 1’de tedavi sonrasında anlamlı ölçüde arttı (p<0,05). Sonuç: %8 crinone vajinal jel endometriyal hiperplazilerin tedavisinde etkindir. Bu etkisinde uterin kan akımının azalmasının rolü olabilir. Bu tedavinin kan lipid profili üzerine olumsuz bir etkisi yoktur.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of progesterone vaginal gel on endometrial hyperplasias. Material and Methods: Twelve patients who admitted our gynecology clinic with irregular menstrual bleeding and were diagnosed as endometrial hyperplasia with endometrial sampling were included. Group 1 (n=6) received progesterone vaginal gel (Crinone 8% vaginal gel, Serono Pharmaceuticals, Turkey) daily, between 15- 25th cycle days, whereas Group 2 (n=6) received Dydrogesterone (Duphaston 10 mg.tb, Solvay, Turkey) per os twice daily, between 15-25th cycle days for three months. Endometrial pathological findings, endometrial thickness before and after treatment, blood lipid profile were compared between groups. Statistical analysis were performed in SPSS for windows version 10.0 using Wilcoxon Signed ranks test and Mann-Whitney U test. P<0,05 was considered statisticaly significant. Results: Endometrial hyperplasia was treated in 4 patient ( 66,6%) in Group 1 and 5 patients (%83,3) in Group 2. Lipid profile was not statistically significantly different between groups. Endometrial thickness decreased significantly after treatment when compared to pre-treatment (p<0,05). Uterine artery rezistans index increased significantly in Group 1 (p<0,05), wheras no changes was observed in Group 2 (p>0,05). Conclusion: Crinone 8% vaginal gel was found effective in the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia. Decreased uterine blood flow may play a role in this effect. It has not any adverse effect on blood lipid profile
