This chapter presents a systematic approach to diagnostics and treatment for couples seeking pregnancy, drawing on a broad, literature-based overview of infertility evaluation and assisted reproduction options. It synthesizes evidence across topics such as causes of infertility, ovulation induction and cycle outcomes, and diagnostic or therapeutic considerations for specific gynecologic factors, with the caveat that the content is largely compiled from studies and may not provide uniform, single-trial conclusions for each clinical scenario. A notable included body of work addresses how conditions like endometriosis and uterine pathology can influence assisted reproductive technology outcomes and treatment decisions. Relevance to endometriosis: the chapter cites multiple endometriosis studies and treatment-related evidence (e.g., laparoscopic surgery in minimal or mild endometriosis and medical suppression with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs), though the chapter’s main focus is a general diagnostic/therapeutic framework for infertility in couples rather than endometriosis alone.
