Personalized approach to infertility treatment in endometriosis: results of a prospective cohort study
A prospective cohort study found that a combined surgical and conservative therapy approach for endometriosis yielded a higher pregnancy rate (57.5%) compared to surgery alone (35.0%) or conservative therapy alone (22.5%).

This prospective cohort study evaluated infertility outcomes in 120 reproductive-age women with confirmed endometriosis, comparing three treatment strategies: surgical (n=40), conservative therapy (n=40), and a combined approach using assisted reproductive technologies (n=40). Combination therapy showed a higher pregnancy rate (57.5%) than surgical (35.0%) or conservative treatment (22.5%), while endometrial thickness increased and systemic inflammation as measured by C-reactive protein decreased across all groups; quality-of-life improvement was greatest in the combined group. The paper reports that surgical treatment was more effective in stages I–II (41.7%) but was associated with reduced anti-Müllerian hormone levels (from 3.2±1.5 to 2.1±1.0 ng/ml), and it also emphasizes tailoring treatment to disease stage and ovarian reserve/reproductive status. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it directly compares infertility treatment modalities and their effects on pregnancy, endometrial parameters, inflammation, ovarian reserve, and quality of life in women with endometriosis.
