Endometriosis is a common fertility barrier influenced by immunological and mechanical factors, but its impact on assisted reproductive technology success remains debated despite ART advancements.

AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-10

This paper reviews how endometriosis can act as a fertility barrier, attributing impaired reproductive outcomes to both immunological factors and local mechanical alterations, and discusses how assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have generated detailed observations across folliculogenesis, fertilization, embryo morphology, and implantation. It highlights ongoing controversy about whether endometriosis remains a major limiting factor for ART success despite advances in reproductive medicine, with the review focusing on IVF- and ART-related pregnancy outcomes. A key caveat explicitly acknowledged is that debate persists and the question of endometriosis’s true impact on reproductive medicine outcomes remains unresolved. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it focuses on endometriosis and infertility and the implications for ART/IVF outcomes.

Abstract

Endometriosis seems to be a common fertility barrier which is affected by immunological and local mechanical factors. The established use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) provides increasing knowledge about folliculogenesis, fertilization, embryo development and pregnancy rates. Nevertheless, controversial discussion about the success of ART in endometriosis exists although the progress of reproductive technologies is improving constantly in many ways. Despite all discussions the question remains still to be unanswered, whether or not endometriosis is indeed limiting the success in reproductive medicine.
