When the endometriosis is extensive and there is anatomical disorganization of the pelvis, such an association would seem to be readily explained on the basis of impaired ovum pick-up. With lesser degrees of endometriosis such an association, if indeed one exists, is much more difficult to explain.\nPreview\nUnable to display preview.
