This paper is a literature review aiming to assess how genital endometriosis affects fertility and pregnancy by analyzing articles published mainly within the last five years and indexed in PubMed Central, ScienceDirect, and Cyberleninka. It summarizes current information on management approaches for endometriosis, proposed pathogenetic/pathophysiological mechanisms underlying infertility, and complications reported during pregnancy among women with endometriosis. The review explicitly frames its conclusions around the need for individualized disease management and emphasizes periconceptional multivitamin supplementation and prenatal care strategy, but it does not provide a new dataset or quantify effect sizes across studies, limiting interpretability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews how genital endometriosis impacts fertility and pregnancy course, including pregnancy complications.
