Abstract

Retrospective analysis of 1 case admitted to our hospital and 15 domestic and foreign literature reports of endometriotic cyst infertility patients with pelvic abscess clinical data after ovulation. One patient in our hospital was treated with recurrent EMS-assisted assisted pregnancy. The endometriotic cyst rupture with pelvic abscess improved after surgery. At home and abroad, 15 cases of infertility were caused by ovarian endometriosis cysts, and 3 of them were recurrent. All the 15 cases showed lower abdominal pain, repeated body temperature, elevated white blood cells and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and pelvic mass under ultrasound. 7 cases were treated with surgery and 8 cases were treated conservatively. The prognosis was good. Key words: Endometriosis, ovary; Pelvic infection; Fertilization in vitro; Embryo transfer
