Summary

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by sustained painful symptoms that are responsible for a decline in the quality of life of sufferers. Endometriosis is fairly common, affecting an estimated 10%-15% of women and girls, usually during their reproductive years. Based on these rough estimates, the latest epidemiological studies suggest that over 200 million women are might be affected who may commonly have infertility problems. Additionally, endometriosis is a major factor increasing by 33-66% risk of ovarian cancer. V-Endo is a tableted preparation derived from hydrolyzed, heat-inactivated, pooled blood of women with endometriosis. When taken orally it is postulated to cause the immune tolerance and anti-inflammatory effect as a result.

Detailed description

Anatomically endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial-type mucosa outside the uterine cavity. This tissue proliferates and causes chronic inflammation resulting in pain and excessive menstrual bleeding. Conventional treatment includes surgical and pharmacological therapy aiming at reducing painful symptoms. However, there is an unmet need in finding optimally safe and effective treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of V-Endo on pain levels in women with endometriosis, focusing on reducing inflammation by immunotherapeutic intervention.
