Endometrial thickness (ET) is an important parameter of determining endometrial receptivity for in vitro fertilization (IVF) with frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). ET is influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as horm…
Medical therapy can be helpful in managing symptoms, but does not improve pregnancy rates. The role of surgical treatment remains controversial. Superovulation with intrauterine insemination has shown modest improvement in pregnancy rates i…
Endometriosis may reflect one of the underlying factors of infertility. This estrogen-dependent disease affects up to 10% of reproductive-aged women and up to 50% of women with infertility. Infertility is a major cause of morbidity in women…
