title: [Results of treating endometriosis with nafarelin].
abstract: 50 women with endometriosis diagnosed during laparoscopy or laparotomy were given six months treatment of nafarelin 400 mcg/day. Before the treatment and after its completion endometriosis was classified according to the AFS scale. Symptom Severity Score numerical scale was also used. After the completion of nafarelin treatment a decrease in AFS scores from 19.6 to 10.2 was seen. The complete withdrawal of clinical symptoms was seen in 52% of patients, and partial withdrawal in 42% of patients. The mean of the Symptom Severity Scores (dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, lower abdominal pain and pelvic exam abnormalities) has decreased from 7.1 to 2.1 points which is a 70% decrease. These results show the high efficacy of nafarelin in endometriosis treatment.
