3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The aim of this study is to determine whether or not continuous combined oral contraceptive pills (COCP's) decrease the risk of recurrent endometrioma formation. The investigators' hypothesis is that patients who have endometriomas surgically removed and then are started on COCP's will have a decreased incidence of recurrent endometrioma formation. The investigators' research protocol is designed to show a statistically significant decreased incidence of endometrioma formation in the hopes that physicians will use COCP's in patients they have removed an endometrioma in who do not desire immediate fertility. Long term, the investigators hope to establish a standard of care that COCP's be used postoperatively in appropriate candidates to decrease the chance of recurrent endometrioma formation.
The researchers are evaluating mechanisms of uterine fluid absorption during early pregnancy
This study aims to determine if PET/MRI can detect endometriosis and potentially improve upon currently available non-invasive diagnostic capabilities. Specifically, the authors will investigate the ability of PET/MRI to detect and quantify endometriosis, as well as differentiate among subcategories such as inflammatory peritoneal lesions, fibrotic deep infiltrating endometriosis lesions (DIE), and ovarian endometriomas. The authors will compare \[68Ga\]CBP8 or \[18F\]-FAPI-74 PET/MRI imaging versus the current gold standard diagnostic methods, including laparoscopic surgery, clinical follow-up, and follow-up imaging.
