Improvement of digestive complaints in women with severe colorectal endometriosis benefiting from continuous amenorrhoea triggered by triptorelin. A prospective pilot study

Conclusion Therapeutic amenorrhoea averaging 3 months allowed complete improvement of various cyclic digestive complaints in more than half of patients. In selected patients, continuous therapeutic amenorrhoea could compensate for the lack of complete resection of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectum, when this latter is likely to result in a high rate of postoperative morbidity.
